<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">I listened in on a call this morning hosted by the National Main Street Center for state coordinating programs to get an update on their advocacy efforts. Here’s what I heard has happened or what they are working
on:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l8 level1 lfo9">Patrice Frey, CEO, NMSC, shared that she is heartened and impressed by the effective run so far which, at a minimum, had presented a strong, initial case for main street – what it
is, why it is important, and why support is needed now.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l8 level1 lfo9">Shaw w/the National Trust, shared that the HEALS and HEROES Acts don’t include funding for EDA which is the conduit of funding for the NMSC request. This is very unusual that there
isn’t funding for EDA. He is not sure if the next CARES will pass before they break at the end of this week. Two things come in to play: it is the worst GDP ever and what the July unemployment numbers will look like (if good, most likely the effort will be
pushed to September, if not good them maybe something sooner).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l8 level1 lfo9">NMSC has had a meeting w/Senate Appropriation staff which they said is a really high level reach to get main street in front of staff who may not know this kind of a program exists.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l8 level1 lfo9">International Economic Development Council (IEDC) and National Association of Development Organizations (NADO) sent a joint letter to support funding for the Economic Development Administration
(EDA), including the funding package NMSC is requesting.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l8 level1 lfo9">NMSC is now encouraging advocacy efforts including:<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
