March Training: Getting Land Banks' Commercial Projects to "Pencil Out"

March 12, 2024 | 12 PM ET | Online

In this session, learn how real estate projects, small and large, can "pencil out" and get done by land banks and collaborative partners using available financing and funding tools such as real property tax exemptions, bond financing, affordable housing and vacant and abandoned building funding opportunities under ARPA, and more.

Participants will walk away with a better understanding of:

States' local economic development mechanisms and applicability to land banks
Basic developer concepts such as reading pro formas, required ROI, and "shovel readiness" of sites
Intermediate-level discussion of how states' public finance programs are calculated into projects' capital stacks

Faculty:

Jeffry Harris, Partner, Bricker Graydon
Adam Seeley, Attorney, Bricker Graydon
