DATE: Friday, December 10, 2021 | 11am-12:15pm
How are TODs in New Jersey typically financed? How does adding affordable units affect a project’s bottom line? How will financing drive the future of TOD in the Garden State?
This event, hosted by the NJTOD.org, Downtown New Jersey, and NJ TRANSIT’s Transit Friend Planning (TFP) program, will bring together a panel of experts from public, private, and non-profit entities to discuss their experiences with available financing tools and how they are used in transit-oriented development. Drawing from practical examples, panelists will discuss existing financial constraints, available financial tools, advantages of funding sources for affordable units, innovative project models, partnerships with community groups and local leadership, and more. The discussion will help demystify the intricacies of development finance, and provide real-world expertise for municipalities, non-profits, and developers looking to learn more.
