Don’t miss this comprehensive look at what the government is doing to rebuild mixed-use real estate projects in our pandemic and post-pandemic world. Real estate attorneys, civil practice lawyers, criminal justice practitioners, and construction law attorneys who attend this online program will better understand:

  • How the pandemic negatively impacted the financial stability of businesses and the abandonment of residential units;
  • The opportunities that exist in our communities for revival and redevelopment;
  • How state and local government entities can encourage revitalization in our struggling communities by offering financial support and other economic incentives;
  • How zoning and land restrictions vs. incentives can play a role in attracting new development and redevelopment activities;
  • The importance of addressing the wide spectrum of incomes within our communities when considering the affordability of new residential units within these varied neighborhoods;
  • How “gentrification” may result in some mixed income and minority communities from development projects that ignore the range of incomes in those areas;
  • How the pandemic and quarantines impacted changes in the economic status of communities – and whether new mixed-use residential/commercial projects can have the effect of gentrifying the community or revitalizing the community;
  • The types of incentives and funding being offered by the state, counties, cities, and villages that may encourage developers to consider new projects in particular communities;
  • How to balance construction projects that would revitalize a community with the uprooting of minorities living and working on those areas where mixed-use projects would be situated; and
  • Much more.
