Project Details
Funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Centers Program (TCTACs) will support communities, particularly those adversely and disproportionately affected by environmental, climate, and human health harms and risks, to identify, access, and deploy resources to create transformative change for communities and individuals.
Collectively, we are building the Thriving Communities Network that connects and supports the local and regional leaders advancing environmental action in their communities across the country.
Regional Technical Assistance Centers
A network of regional Technical Assistance Centers will provide technical assistance, training, and resources to help communities, including local governments, nonprofit organizations, and other community-serving institutions, to access the resources they need to succeed. The Technical Assistance Centers will build the capacity of communities to navigate federal grant application systems, write strong grant proposals, and effectively manage grant funding. Support may include guidance on community engagement, meeting facilitation, and translation and interpretation services for limited-English-speaking participants. Each Regional Technical Assistance Center will be tailored to meet the needs of their region.
National Technical Assistance Centers
ICMA and two other organizations have been selected to support the Thriving Communities Network at the national level. Together, our organizations will:
- Leverage our networks of local governments, state and tribal governments, nonprofits, community leaders, and public health and environmental action advocates to scale solutions nationally.
- Support the Regional Technical Assistance Centers with training, resources, technical assistance, and opportunities for peer learning.
- Provide additional technical support to communities in ways that supplement and support the regional centers.
- Raise awareness and engagement by engaging key stakeholder groups through our online platform, conferences, events, resources, and trainings.
- Accelerate the dissemination of successful tools, models, and resources.

PM is the award-winning magazine of ICMA (International City/County Management Association), the professional and educational organization for chief appointed managers, administrators, and assistants in cities, towns, counties, and regional entities throughout the world.
PM’s mission is to inspire innovation, inform decision making, connect leading-edge thinking to everyday challenges, and serve ICMA members and local governments worldwide in the pursuit of excellence in local governance.
The management decisions made by ICMA’s more than 12,000 members in the United States and around the world, affect millions of individuals in thousands of communities across the country—from small towns with populations of a few hundred to metropolitan areas serving several million.
PM readers are among the decision-makers involved in the purchasing process: 86% establish the budget; 80% authorize and approve purchases; and 60% recommend and select specific products and services.
You can reach these decision-makers through PM, the trusted source of reliable guidance and information for 100 years.
PM’s circulation of more than 10,000 (print) and 12,000 (e-newsletter) includes ICMA members, nonmember subscribers, and bonus distribution at major events for local government professionals
ICMA Members Are the Top Decision-makers
Nearly 58% of U.S. local government members hold the top job of chief administrative officer—city manager and county administrator. Nearly 24% are in upper management—department head and assistant CAO.
PM Readers Have Huge Buying Power
The average total operating budget for a local government is $26.8 million, and the average cost of products purchased in a year is $5.1 million.
