Thursday August 26 ~ Redevelopment and Revitalization for a New Era
The current economy, coupled with the federal stimulus package provides new opportunities for redevelopment in many communities. What is being funded and what opportunities are emerging? Will mixed use continue to be a goal of redeveloped area? Will the desire to use resources more efficiently provide a good match with planning goals? One thread will focus on redevelopment financing such as TIF, special district financing, and joint development financing and how they are working as tools in this economic climate.
Thursday Sept 30 ~ Monetizing Sustainability
Explore how incentives are created for sustainability. Who creates them? To whom are they given? At what level do they work best? What has been most effective over time? Panelists discuss both the tools and the underlying policy objectives. Hear about incentives, such as surcharges, fees, tax reductions, and how they have been implemented. Speakers assess how they have fared in different locations. Learn what can be applied to your circumstance.
