Special District & Development Finance Webinar Series

December 2, 9 & 16, 2025 @ 12:00 PM | Virtual

Understanding local finance tools is key to driving downtown reinvestment. This three-part virtual workshop series will explore how communities can leverage Tax Increment Financing (TIFs), Business Development Districts (BDs), Special Service Areas (SSAs), and Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) to fund redevelopment, infrastructure, and district management.

Each engaging session includes real-world examples, polling, and hands-on exercises to help participants apply these tools locally.

🗓️ December 2 – Tax Increment Financing (TIF) 
Learn the fundamentals of how TIFs work, what costs are eligible, and the steps to establish a district. Participants will explore how TIF revenues are generated, how to estimate increment for a sample project, and how TIFs can be combined with other local incentives. Zoom Link

Presented by SB Friedman Development Advisors
