2 Class Summary Incentives are generally still available for development on challenging sites (referred to as Brownfields but more realistically including all urban properties), but not all incentives are what they appear, and not all communities are eager to support incentives. More importantly, when determining which incentives are appropriate the devil is clearly in the details. This session will discuss the available incentives and the eligibility requirements for each, and will use a case study to identify the real value of the key incentives to a developer. Outline Overview Incentive Programs Eligibility Criteria Community Approaches Pending Changes Case Study Q&A Overview Continuing Education February 17,

Creative purchasing and development Public/private partnerships Use of financial incentives Sequencing Purchase and Redevelopment 2) Attracting New Investment Tax Base and Jobs Competition with Other States Stretching Limited Funding February 17,
