EXECUTIVE ORDER
ESTABLISHING A WHITE HOUSE COUNCIL ON STRONG CITIES, STRONG
COMMUNITIES
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States of America, and in order to forge a partnership with local
communities to provide them with comprehensive technical assistance to use and
compete for Federal resources more effectively and efficiently, which will
enable them to develop and implement economic strategies to become more
competitive, sustainable, and inclusive, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. Cities, towns, and regions across
our Nation continue to face difficult economic challenges. Enhancing current
Federal assistance is helping to lift communities out of distress. To allow
the Federal Government to better partner with these local communities to build
local capacity to address economic issues, and to support comprehensive
planning and regional collaboration, my Administration established the Strong
Cities, Strong Communities (SC2) pilot initiative. By partnering with cities
and regions to augment their vision for stability and economic growth, the SC2
was designed to help communities strengthen their capacity to create jobs and
more competitive business climates, and implement locally driven community and
regional planning approaches that lead to sustained economic growth, as well as
ensure that Federal assistance is more efficiently provided and used.
This order improves the way the Federal Government engages with and supports
local communities by better aligning resources and coordinating efforts across
executive departments and agencies (agencies) so that communities across the
country have access to comprehensive, localized technical assistance and
planning resources to develop and implement their economic vision and
strategies.
