Local infrastructure projects that require community financing also require consent from stakeholders under Prop 218. Additionally, the capacity of local communities, particularly disadvantaged communities, to incur debt is a significant challenge. This session will discuss how to identify local capacity and external resources for funding a wastewater infrastructure project.

Learner Outcomes:

Evaluate local and external capacity to fund and construct locally funded capital infrastructure projects.
Identify both community and financial barriers to the development and successful execution of capital projects.
Understand the process of forming a public financing district.
