CRA and Bank Partnerships
3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Key Largo BC
This session will explain in detail how the federally mandated Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) can help city or county community redevelopment agencies (CRAs) build partnerships for community and economic development projects with banks. These two different CRAs both seek to use their resources to meet community needs. Banks are tasked with meeting lending, service and credit needs in communities through the CRA, while the cities and counties are working on quality of life needs. Come with questions on how you can directly plug into the federal CRA world and identify a lender who might be interested in partnering with you and your CRA projects.
