This panel is part of the Local Government Innovation Lab NLC University Executive Education session at NLC’s Congressional City Conference. During the three-hour program, local leaders learn alongside experts how they can put federal dollars to work and bring their projects to life with Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, New Market Tax Credits, Tax Increment Financing and Opportunity Zones.
NLC University, building on lessons learned through Local Infrastructure Hub, is bringing experts and resources directly to cities to expand hands-on learning, technical assistance and peer networks that local leaders can rely on over time. Participants can bring their projects and questions to this session, where they can work through tabletop exercises alongside experts.
