White House Pushes Urban Agenda

Posted by Carol Coletta on July 12, 2009

The Washington Post has the story we weren't supposed to discuss.  Monday the White House convenes a meeting to push forward on a national urban policy agenda.  White House Office of Urban Affairs Director Adolfo Carrion promises a "bottom up" approach to help for cities. Not clear is how the metro (vs. city) agenda is pressed and how (and whether) money flows to local governments.  More from the meeting tomorrow.
