Joint Florida League of Mayors and Florida Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials Webinar

The 3 R’s to Increase your City’s Budget: Rooftops, Retail, Redevelopment

Speaker: Sarah Beth Stewart, Vice President, Retail Strategies

In this session, we'll explore two vital components of boosting a city's financial health: retail attraction and the revitalization of blighted areas. These factors are often the key to unlocking substantial increases in sales tax and property tax revenues, ultimately bolstering your city's budget.

We will delve into the strategies and tactics that cities can employ to attract retail businesses, explore the age-old adage of whether retail truly follows rooftops and discuss how to promote retail opportunities to retail decision-makers.

Additionally, we'll highlight how to drive the investment of redevelopment in blighted or underutilized areas, shedding light on how it can not only breathe new life into neglected parts of the city but also lead to increased property values and property tax revenues.

Attending this session will give you ideas on how these elements can work in harmony to provide a substantial financial boost to your city's budget. Join us to discover practical tactics for promoting the potential of rooftops, retail, and redevelopment to increase the financial well-being and prosperity of your community.
