The event kicks off with opening remarks from CSG Executive Director Janet Topolsky and RDIG's Connie Stewart, Executive Director of the California Center for Rural Policy.

The event is moderated by Nancy Marshall-Genzer, Senior Reporter at NPR's Marketplace. The panelists represent three different types of intermediaries: a tribal government, a local government, and a community foundation. The three case studies illustrate different types of infrastructure challenges faced by rural communities, and examples of innovative solutions to spur economic growth.

A technical note: the audio feed at the Institute was not operating for the first minute or two of the event, so the recording starts in the middle of Janet Topolsky's opening remarks.
