Twenty years of market data confirms that consumers are willing to pay a premium for transit-rich, walkable environs. Now, as public coffers are diminishing, private developers and land owners are using this evidence and market impetus to close the funding gap and finance roads, infrastructure, parks, and public transit, even fixed rail transit.
The Value of Transit-Oriented Development will review the market evidence for upside potential of transit-oriented development, using some of the leading examples of these private-public partnerships, many in the D.C. region, and how improved collaboration can support these partnerships. Emphasis will be placed on what is funded and by whom, and by what mechanisms. Parallels will be drawn to Fairfax’s current TOD planning efforts, especially in and around Tysons Corner, and implications for implementation will be discussed.
Presentation by Shyam Kannan, Principal-Director of Economic Development Practice Group at Robert Charles Lesser and Company (RCLCO) based in Washington, D.C.
