When it comes to building projects, cities are often stretched thin, and may have their hands tied by process, funding, and payment restrictions. In response, many cities are working collaboratively with private partners to deliver projects faster, better, and with fewer budgetary and administrative hurdles.
In this session, hear from Atlanta on its deep collaboration with nonprofits in the region, and with its multiple community improvement districts. Hear also of a major quick-build project, The Great Street Pilot Project in highly-visible downtown Memphis, delivered thanks to an innovative collaboration between the city, a nonprofit, and numerous local project sponsors.
