About the Webinar
In just 10 years California economic development has transitioned from Retail to Residential and Redevelopment to Sustainability; with a focus on green infrastructure and resiliency. Accordingly, the landscape of economic development is rapidly evolving, with a growing emphasis on sustainability, energy, transportation, housing and infrastructure, largely driven by climate action initiatives.
Concurrently, in response to consumer preferences for sustainable products and government mandates, the private sector is investing in green energy projects and use of sustainable materials and features in every product.
More than $1.2 trillion in federal and state funding is available to support these public and private investments in climate action, in addition to the recently approved State Proposition 4 which brings $10B to the table for sustainability in California alone.
This panel will explain how to best harness these extraordinary financial and funding resources and unveils California’s new Climate Resilience District, a powerful new sustainability-focused Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. Learn about this new world of green funding, renewable energy, hydrogen, tax credit bonds, value capture zoning and how to create green jobs and achieve a sustainable local economy.
