Is your department looking to build a new station or training center?
At the upcoming FDAC 2024 Annual Conference in Monterey, CA on April 23-26, 2024 together with Chief Dave Williams of Chino Valley Fire Protection District, Jaime Rojas of Rojas Public Affairs, and Nicki Tallman of Oppenheimer & Co., Dmitry Semenov of Ridgeline Municipal Strategies is doing a session on funding sources for fire facilities.
The session will discuss key considerations for capital projects funding (fire mitigation fees, grants and earmarks, bonds, bank loans, and USDA loans) and how the current financial market environment is impacting your department's ability to obtain financing.
The session focuses on practical aspects of capital projects funding.
A market update will also be provided, because even though we may not always know what the future holds, we should always know where we stand right now.
Hope to see you there!
Fire mitigation fees help fire departments get funding for new facilities and apparatus. Ridgeline’s best practices guide shows how to plan, implement, and manage fire mitigation fees for maximum impact.
