Now is the time to join, risk-free, as NSDC ramps up its advocacy on 2023 legislative priorities to better “special district” in federal law and to ensure their eligibility for relevant federally funded programs for local governments, and to establish a pilot federal program to close community gaps in water infrastructure for firefighting.
