Background and Rationale
body
In 2023, the Community and Economic Development (CED) department contracted with NEOO Partners, the Urban Land Institute (ULI) of Minnesota and Baker Tilly to provide technical assistance services for emerging and diverse developers. The technical assistance program consisted of a six-week educational cohort, small group sessions and advanced coaching. Developers learned the basics of housing development, honed their proformas and prepared applications for funding opportunities in CED. Emerging and diverse developers will be celebrated in person with a graduation ceremony at the regularly scheduled Ramsey County Board meeting.
