2024 WV Brownfields & Main Street Conference

See the possibilities for rehabilitation of historic buildings demonstrated by recent projects throughout the state in programs such as Opportunity Appalachia. Discuss the process that can make these projects successful and what pitfalls may await you as you progress through the renovation. What are some of the more common and challenging issues to watch out for when embarking on a historic tax credit rehabilitation?  What obstacles may be in your way? What tools are available to successfully overcome these hurdles? Who can help you navigate these troubled waters? And finally, how do you turn these credits into money (equity)? How can you attract investors, and do it within the guidelines of the program? What makes an investor comfortable enough to participate in your project?

The session will be a mix of presentation and panel discussion with welcome participation from the audience, along with a robust Q&A portion.
