RESCUING MIDSTREAM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS FROM DISASTER
What are the options when entitlements are in place but funding is not? What's a lender or developer to do when construction has started up, then stopped, and the project now sits gathering dust while decision makers are in flux about the project’s future? How do the municipalities factor into these scenarios? This panel will confront the trials facing developers, their lenders, and the municipalities involved when a partially completed development project stalls out midstream, and will provide innovative solutions to address this misfortune when it arises.
