About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will discuss the issues a municipality should consider when selecting and negotiating a construction or development agreement with a developer. The program will review what cities and towns should think about from both business and legal perspectives.

Description

When considering development agreements, municipalities can get taken advantage of with respect to a number of critical issues because they are not as specialized or experienced as the developers who want to do business with them.

Municipalities need more training on how to navigate these public-private partnerships. They also need additional instruction and insights about all financing structures available, including tax exempt bonds.

Without knowing what questions to ask and what red flags to watch for, a municipality can end up with one-sided development agreements weighted in the developer's favor, with potentially dire financial consequences.

Listen as this experienced panel discusses the issues a municipality should be considering when selecting and negotiating a development agreement with a developer.
