Thank you to the 153 city leaders from 106 cities and towns that signed AWC’s letter to legislators urging protection of the Public Works Assistance Account. This week, AWC will send the letter to legislative leadership. Whether or not you signed on, there is still time to contact your legislators and ask them to oppose new diversions from the account. Read the letter and share it with your legislators now.

Sign on to AWC’s letter to legislators opposing a sweep of the Public Works Assistance Account

February 17, 2025

This year, the Public Works Assistance Account (PWAA) is at risk of losing over $100 million to the state’s general fund. We cannot let this happen: City officials must raise their collective voices in opposition to a sweep of the PWAA. Sign on to AWC’s letter, then contact your legislators in both the House and Senate and let them know that continuing to divert funds from the PWAA erodes your city’s ability to fund basic local infrastructure and goes back on agreements made with city leaders. Without concentrated efforts from local elected officials, the Legislature is likely to sweep the account. Read the letter and indicate that you want to sign on by February 28.
