Arts & Culture

NACo works to strengthen county resiliency by building leadership capacity to identify and manage risk, and allow counties to become more flexible and responsive.

The Creative Counties Placemaking Initiative, developed with Americans for the Arts and supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, provides county leaders with tools to integrate the arts into local solutions. 

The network supports county leaders to develop successful economic mobility strategies for their local communities.

The Building Resilient Economies in Coal Communities initiative connects coal communities, supports local leaders and builds capacity in under-resourced communities to advance new approaches and projects for economic diversification.
