On October 13, 2010, Governor Jennifer Granholm (D-Mich.) joined former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin, Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin, New York City Deputy Mayor Steve Goldsmith, and other experts in a Hamilton Project forum focused on policy solutions for renewing American communities.
The Hamilton Project released a strategy paper and three new proposals that provide a range of options for helping communities and workers recover from recent economic shocks. Following the presentation of papers, Hamilton Project Director and Brookings Senior Fellow Michael Greenstone moderated a discussion among the authors and Bruce Katz, Vice President and Director of the Metropolitan Studies Program at Brookings. A panel of corporate and community leaders provided their perspectives on the tools necessary for recovery, and Governor Granholm closed the event with keynote remarks.
