Many TOD projects are made possible with the help of financing from federal government programs. The details of those programs, however, are tougher to understand. What programs might your project be eligible for? What time of year do applications open, and when are awards announced? And what do some of the most popular programs look for in applications?
Join us on Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 1:00 PM EDT for a free webinar that will answer all these questions and more. A crash course on federal TOD financing programs will provide an overview of programs available through USDOT, HUD, and EPA to help municipalities and transit agency staff create more development near transit stations.
Leading this conversation will be federal program staff from USDOT and community development experts from Smart Growth America. You will also hear from real estate developers who have navigated these programs and put them to use.
Do you have questions about this that you’d like answered during the event? Send them to us any time at [email protected].
This webinar will provide an overview of material that is covered in more depth in the 2017 edition of the LOCUS Federal Financing Toolkit. The full toolkit is available to LOCUS members. If you are interested in getting a copy, contact the LOCUS team.
We hope you’ll join us for the conversation later this month.
