On Budget & Economy: Block grants to invest in small cities and towns

Small communities throughout the state have struggled to invest in key public services. Craig has introduced the Small Cities and Towns Investment Act. If enacted, Craig's plan would create an annual $10 billion block grant program for communities with fewer than 30,000 residents. Distributed through county governments, the new grant program could be used by small communities for a wide variety of initiatives, such as health care, public transportation, childcare and community centers.
