TFG, alongside Poyner Spruill LLC, worked with the Topsail Island Shoreline Protection Commission (TISPC) in North Carolina to secure a $237 million construction “new start” from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build the Surf City and North Topsail Beach Project, a critical beach nourishment project that was authorized in the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014.

On Wednesday September 20, 2019, TFG in partnership with the National Association of County Administrators (NACA) and ecivis held a webinar on “Federal Funding Opportunities to Combat the Opioid Crisis.” The webinar highlighted federal funding opportunities for local governments and looked ahead to the 2020 opioid federal agenda. 

The webinar featured speakers from the Center for Disease Control and the Executive Office of the President. These panelists discussed what their offices are doing to combat the opioid epidemic and how local governments can stay involved and engaged with them.
