The Downtown Appalachia Redevelopment Initiative will offer a nationally recognized training on Mixed-Use Real Estate Finance from the National Development Council on March 31 – April 2 in Charleston.
Small cities and urban neighborhoods are at their best when their historic Main Street Districts pulse with uses and activities that bring a community alive: residential, retail, entertainment, services, and public spaces. Older districts have special opportunities for adaptive reuse—with buildings that are ideally suited to multiple uses (retail/office, residential/retail, etc.) in one structure. Understanding how to finance mixed-used development as a way to catalyze Main Street, energizing it with shopping, dining, culture, and entertainment is critical for communities. This course explores debt, equity and public/private financing tools available for Main Street redevelopment. Focus on: Mixed-Use Development Challenges, Mixed Financing, Taxes & Real Estate Development, and Financing Tools.
West Virginia welcomes the National Development Council for a training on Main Street – Mixed Use Finance, with lead sponsorship from United Bank and support from the Downtown Appalachia Redevelopment Initiative, Natural Capital Investment Fund, Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, and the Appalachian Regional Commision. Thanks to this sponsorship, this course is provided at a significant discount Space is limited so fill out the application as soon as possible. A course overview webinar will be held on February 6.
