Revitalizing Brownfields with TIFs and Special Assessments
Almost every community across the country has brownfield sites that are abandoned or underutilized and suffer from real or perceived contamination. These sites threaten long-term community environmental and economic health, and they are extremely difficult to revitalize. Join expert speakers to learn how communities are diversifying their capital stacks by using tax increment financing (TIF) and special assessments to reimburse brownfield-related costs incurred while redeveloping these contaminated, functionally obsolete, blighted, historic, or otherwise eligible properties.
