We have received commitment that the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Grant Programs at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is planning to join us for the day, and we are excited to share our successes from Iowa with HUD. Media and elected officials will be invited to attend the tour. Event organizers include: IEDA, Iowa Flood Center, ISU, WHKS, and local Middle Cedar River Watershed stakeholders.

We look forward to gathering in-person! However, we know things can change abruptly with the pandemic. In-person gatherings will follow CDC recommended guidelines, and any changes in plans will be communicated in advance of the event. We are not planning for virtual participation.
