Local government plays a critical role in shaping the quality of life for its residents, by delivering everything from lifeline goods and services, to schools and public safety, to safe and affordable housing. George W. “Mac” McCarthy, President and CEO of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, will discuss innovative local efforts where local governments stepped up to help preserve and produce affordable housing. Drawing from his extensive experience working across the nation, McCarthy will share stories that demonstrate how governments have addressed systemic inefficiencies that stall housing development and preservation through new public-private-civic coalitions that produce real results.
