Description
Capital is seeking credible place-based investment opportunities, yet many markets lack the systems needed to convert interest into execution-ready deals. This interactive session shares practical models for improving deployment through stronger pipelines, municipal alignment, trusted intermediaries, and capital matching tools. Participants will diagnose where transactions stall, learn from Midwest market examples, and leave with frameworks they can apply to accelerate investment into resilient communities.
