NLC roadshow
Sunnyvale was an official stop on the National League of Cities’ (NLC) “Centennial Roadshow: 100 Years, 100 Cities.” The roadshow pulled into town on Aug. 3, when city officials provided a tour of the downtown and new city hall. They also focused on the city’s sustainability and housing priorities.
Part of NLC’s yearlong centennial celebration, the roadshow includes stops in every region of the country, aimed at spotlighting America’s local communities. It kicked off in February at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, where NLC was founded. Since then, the roadshow has been stopping in cities of all sizes to showcase their unique stories. The roadshow will culminate in November in Tampa, Florida, where NLC will host its annual City Summit conference.
The NCL advocates for local governments across America, representing almost 3,000 cities. For more information about the roadshow or to learn more about NLC’s centennial events or initiatives, visit nlc100.org.
