The Summit will feature local, state, and national government, business, and nonprofit decision-makers providing the latest information on when the massive new monies will arrive and sharing strategies on what the monies should be spent on. New programs and contracts could be developed for tourism, real estate, infrastructure development, new energy development, disaster preparedness, construction, education, and environmental restoration. According to Congressional estimates, the new funding, programs, and contracts will benefit the Gulf Coast beginning soon and will last for the next ten years.
