How can investors work together to raise funds that can then be invested back in their own communities? Are there ways to finance the construction and infrastructure that our neighborhoods and cities need that exist outside of the standard conventions? Come hear from a panel of experts who are improving the places that we live, work and play by identifying and using sources of capital that exist outside of the usual toolbox. Co-presented by Neighborly.
