MEETING GOALS 
This meeting is the second in a series ECA is hosting as part of our New Nuclear Initiative to define the role of local governments and the partnerships necessary to develop priorities, policies, educational resources and outreach on new nuclear development. The goals for this Forum include:

• Providing a clearer timeline, economic outlook and educational resources for communities considering whether and how to support advanced nuclear energy projects.
• Engaging communities on key issues such as siting, regulation, investment, workforce development, safety, and potential environmental and equity impacts of nuclear energy projects.
• Sharing lessons learned from nuclear energy activities in the U.S. and abroad.
• Matching potential host communities with nuclear energy developers, utilities and the right projects
