December 2011

The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Federal Reserve Board are co-hosting an interactive conference in Baltimore, Maryland on creative uses of data and technology to promote public and private investment in transitional communities.  The purpose of the convening is to bring together community stakeholders to discuss ways of using data to make more strategic neighborhood stabilization decisions given limited resources. 

This conference helps to highlight the overall NNIP model as well as partners efforts locally.  It will feature discussions with local NNIP partners from Baltimore, Cleveland, Dallas, Kansas City, Minneapolis, New York City, Oakland, Philadelphia, Providence and Pittsburgh (names below).
