Acquiring Property for Development in a CRA

8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.

Key West BCD

This session is designed to give you the answers you need to critical questions: How do we best inform the decision to acquire property? How are project objectives and goals established/communicated/adopted? How do we attract investors and/or partners to the process be they public, private, non-profits or foundations? What types of incentives are appropriate, and when is the appropriate time to explore those options, without “giving away the house”?

Speakers:  Kim Briesemeister, Principal and Co-Founder, RMA (RMA); Diane Colonna, AICP, FRA-RA, Executive Director, Margate CRA and President, Florida Redevelopment Association and J. Gary Rogers, Executive Director, City of Lauderdale Lakes CRA
