Public Private Partnerships
The market for public-private partnerships (P3s, also known as PPPs) in the US is gaining ground. Investors are interested, capital is plentiful, and governments are increasingly commiting to these partnerships .
CWB will help make your community’s vision a reality. In many communities, there can be an abundance of vision, but also many barriers and challenges that prevent or slow the progress desired by leadership, property and business owners, and residents. Our job is to make things happen by serving as a catalysts for needed projects and helping make areas “development-ready” and by negotiating public-private partnerships that are so often necessary to create vibrancy.

We understand the interests and motivations of each party and can package the financing using both public and private resources.
