Brookings: Putting Public Assets to Work Through Innovative Finance

Brookings is hosting a Putting Public Assets to Work Through Innovative Finance event on Wednesday, May 1^st, from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM, at the Brookings Institution Falk Auditorium.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Build America Bureau recently announced an unprecedented grant opportunity: the Innovative Finance and Asset Concession Program. This program makes available $100 million in grants over five years to public entities doing pre-development work to structure public-private partnerships. During this event, the USDOT Build America Bureau and the GFOA Putting Assets to Work team will discuss the Biden administration’s vision and new tools for empowering transit-oriented development, and how local leaders are evaluating the opportunity. Attendees should expect a constructive dialogue on status quo barriers to integrating transportation and land development, yielding an action agenda for how to overcome them.
