“This webinar brings together experts who can talk about the challenges and opportunities facing municipal governments throughout our region as they cope with new issues raised by the legalization of marijuana, increased pressure for shared services and K-12 school regionalization, and the long-term impact of Covid-19 on Main Street businesses and the hundreds of thousands who lost jobs that will be slow to come back or may not return at all,” said Amanda Richardson, CNJLM’s executive director.
