Each stop of the roadshow features unique stories and experiences from municipalities across the nation, showcasing the remarkable achievements and contributions of local governments.
“The National League of Cities Centennial Roadshow has taken us to remarkable cities, towns and villages,” said Clarence E. Anthony, CEO and Executive Director of the National League of Cities. “We have had the pleasure to experience the unique history and transformative initiatives that contribute to making the places we have stopped along the way great places to live, work and play. We look forward to meeting the dedicated local leaders and their communities throughout the Midwest who continue to work relentlessly to drive positive change in their communities.”
