We were thrilled to dive into the world of regional storytelling at the National Association of Regional Councils Annual Conference with panelist Desira Blanchard, Communications and Community Engagement Manager at NVCOG.

Desira explored the transformative power of regional storytelling, re-branding, and communications in shaping perceptions and attracting investment. Discovering how unique stories, heritage, and cultural richness create a sense of belonging and pride was truly inspiring. #RegionsLead

NVCOG has been awarded an additional $3 million through the Bipartisan infrastructure Law (BIL) to replenish their Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) program. Funding will support more cleanup projects in underserved areas, accelerating revitalization efforts in the Naugatuck Valley Region.

Check out these photographs from the press conference, featuring the former Button Factory at 835 South Main Street in Waterbury. While the conference was taking place, active excavation was underway at the site. This dynamic scene exemplifies our commitment to driving revitalization efforts forward.

Thank you to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for your continued support! #BrownfieldCleanup #EPA
