Stack and Sequence: Building a Capital Matrix for Brownfield Redevelopment Funding
Brownfield Process & Funding
1:45 PM – 3:45 PM
Community Hall BC
Every brownfield project requires multiple sources of capital to be successful and the more difficult the project, the more capital sources are needed. This workshop will identify and describe a wide variety of brownfield capital sources that will range from brownfield-specific funding to traditional redevelopment financing. A deeper dive will show how sources can be integrated and stacked, used sequentially for the various stages of redevelopment, and combined with private investment. This workshop offers more than just a list of capital sources: in the first half of the workshop capital sources will be described and presented in a “generic” matrix showing the stack and sequence possibilities. Then in the second half of the workshop we’ll collectively work through a few stack and sequence project scenarios to demonstrate the wide range of possibilities for brownfield redevelopment funding/financing programs. The workshop will accommodate individual sites as well as broad areas, and both urban and rural scenarios. Public agencies and non-profits will benefit by learning how to best promote redevelopment through utilizing multiple capital sources. Additionally, practitioners will gain insights, tools, and strategies for working with developers and investors and cultivating successful public-private partnerships that support communities’ neighborhood revitalization goals. All participants will come away with a greater understanding of the wide variety of brownfield redevelopment capital sources and will have the opportunity to create their own plan.

West Sacramento 20 Years Later – A Vision Becomes Reality
Brownfield Process & Funding
10:45 AM – 11:45 AM
Community Hall BC
For over 20 years, West Sacramento has been a prime example of actively preparing and implementing a Redevelopment Plan for various City Districts. From Master Plan to Redevelopment Transition Plan to Plan execution, West Sacramento has been at the forefront of Brownfields Redevelopment, using a variety of Financing and Funding resources, including EPA Assessment and Multi-purpose Grants, Tax Increment Financing (TIF), as well as public-private partnerships to help transform a once-overlooked City along the Sacramento River into a highly desirable place to live, work and visit. The session will describe the City’s visioning, financing and funding, assessment, and revitalization process used to transform key target areas such as Pioneer Bluff, Stone Lock and the Capitol Avenue Districts. West Sacramento is a prime example of Brownfields Redevelopment planning and execution. Examples of this transformation are evident across the City (Pioneer Bluff deindustrialization, Stone Lock rehabilitation, and affordable housing developments in the Capitol Avenue District). Attendees will gain a better understanding of full scope redevelopment projects from visioning to execution, the creative financing and partnership building needed to effect such a transformation, and the inspiring story that is West Sacramento. This session is intended for all CCLR CALRC attendees and will cover visioning, financing and funding, regulatory agency collaboration, environmental considerations, and stakeholder consensus building. Attendees will also view a GIS-based Story Map which graphically captures the West Sacramento transformation, past, present, and future.
