Small Scale Development Workshop Nov. 15 , 2017
From thedecaturminute.com
On November 15, the City of Decatur and Decatur Development Authority
will host a Small Scale Real Estate Development Workshop. Get a big
picture view of small scale real estate development. The Workshop
offers specialized training about how to create small projects, like 1-3
story buildings with less than 20 units, which are residential,
commercial or mixed use. The Workshop is a day-long session designed to
introduce the principles and implementation mechanisms behind
neighborhood based development projects. The course assumes you know a
lot about where you live, but not necessarily much about the real estate
process or building development. Discover where you need help and meet
the people who can help you. Through presentations on finance, design
and site selection, a hands-on practice exercise, and networking with
local like-minded people, this workshop is the first step to becoming a
small developer yourself or creating a supportive ecosystem for small
development in your city.
WHAT: Small Scale Real Estate Development Workshop
WHEN: Wednesday, November 15, 2017, 8 a.m.- 5 p.m.
