Webinar Series to Focus on State of Community Development Authority/Tax Increment Financing in Virginia

Stone & Youngberg, a leading financial services firm, will host a series of three Virginia Community Development Authority/Tax Increment Financing (CDA/TIF) webinars to educate cities, counties and landowners in the Commonwealth about this creative financing tool. CDAs/TIFs are proving to be an excellent financing option in the current economic climate, as local governments across Virginia face severe budgetary shortfalls. This financing allows cities and counties to build needed public infrastructure in conjunction with development projects, with no liability for payment of the cost of the infrastructure.
