Understanding Economic Blight

Economic blight affects communities of all sizes—from rural towns to urban neighborhoods. It's characterized by deteriorating infrastructure, declining property values, and reduced economic opportunity. We help communities break this cycle.

Infrastructure Decay

Aging water systems, deteriorating roads, and outdated facilities create health risks and limit economic growth for residents and businesses across all community types.

80% of rural projects fail due to capacity gaps

Economic Decline

Reduced property values, business closures, and job losses create a downward spiral that depletes tax bases and limits public services in urban and rural areas alike.

$350B federal infrastructure funding available

Capacity Gaps

Limited technical staff, complex federal requirements, and isolation from resources prevent communities from accessing available funding and revitalization opportunities.
