Engage. Elevate. Advocate.

If you’re not actively leveraging incentive programs in today’s market, you could be leaving both deals (and dollars) on the table. Join Rob Sant (Sandy City Economic Development Deputy Director and owner of Urban Main Consulting) and Marlin Eldred (Lehi City Economic Development Director and owner of Economic Development Planning Group LLC) as they break down the real funding sources and policy tools available to builders right now.
From First Home Investment Zones (FHIZ) and Public Infrastructure Districts to moderate-income housing funds and infrastructure grants, this session will walk through how these tools actually work. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of how developers can tap into funding sources like tax increment financing, housing set-aside funds, and the state’s $150 million affordable housing program to make projects pencil.
The conversation will also highlight innovative approaches from Sandy and Lehi, including overlay zoning strategies and density incentives, offering a clear look at how forward-thinking municipalities are partnering with builders to get projects across the finish line.
