There’s no “right” way to procure much-needed upgrades to America’s infrastructure.
America’s states, cities and localities all make decisions in the best interest of their citizens. But there is best practice in financing infrastructure. This involves allocating risk properly, choosing the right partners, and picking the best financing markets.
Proximo brings you the 2020 Financing America’s Infrastructure event. It will cover all assets and all financing markets. Whether building a new university campus or selling a container port to another private investor, whether accessing the term loan B or tax-exempt municipal market, this event will cover the latest financing trends with the leading investors and contractors in their segments.
This virtual event will look at what makes assets bankable, bond market-ready or investible, depending on who's looking. It will discuss at how lenders will tackle direct-procure, build-finance, design-build finance, design-build-finance-maintain, P3, non-profit or fully private structures, with a heavy focus on the deals that are AT or NEAR market.
