| | | NPSG13-133 | | Infrastructure Finance; Innovative Tools for Challenging Times Speakers: Matthew Lesh, Transportation Program Specialist, U.S. Department of Transportation; John Williams, Chairman and CEO, Impact Infrastructure, LLC. Moderator: Lee Sobel, Real Estate Development and Finance Analyst, Office of Sustainable Communities, U.S. EPA. This session provides an overview of the types of infrastructure needs typically associated with infill and transit-oriented development, the challenges involved in paying for this infrastructure, key infrastructure finance terms and tools, and the process of formulating a successful infrastructure funding and financing strategy. Infrastructure and community facilities often need to be in place before new private development can occur – either because additional infrastructure is required to support new uses or, in a place with a weak real estate market, to make a location more attractive for developers, new residents and employers. Although communities often struggle to pay for such infrastructure, the long-term economic benefits are too great to pass up. Listen and learn about how communities are thinking outside the box when it comes to new infrastructure finance methods. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
