Ehlers’ 2022 Minnesota Public Finance Seminar
We are so proud to share in your mission to build vibrant, sustainable and equitable communities across Minnesota. Yet fulfilling that mission isn’t just about public finance solutions - these are only the fundamentals of our work. It’s about people pulling together to create smart plans, build community consensus and share in the hard work that helps bring generational projects to life. This year, we've narrowed our curriculum to two learning tracks - Tax Increment Financing and Development & Financing - and placed a considerable focus on real-life stories and case studies. Plus, Gary Carlson will join us again to provide the latest updates from the Minnesota State Legislature, and former Brooklyn Center City Manager Curt Boganey will deliver a compelling keynote address on leadership during crisis.
