Legislative Issues in the Southwest: Working With Policymakers to Make a Difference for CRE Webinar

What are the big legislative issues facing businesses in your market? NAIOP Developing Leaders from our Southwest chapters are invited to an exclusive program to hear from industry and legislative leaders on these pressing issues:

• Increasing revenue sources through higher commercial real estate taxes. California defeated this issue in 2020, but as states face declining revenues, CRE could be targeted.
• Barriers to economic growth and CRE development. Our industry contributed $1 trillion to U.S. GDP in 2020, and the impact on state economies is invaluable.
• Environmental initiatives. What are the best strategies to work with local policymakers on green roof requirements, energy benchmarking mandates, net zero buildings, and more.
• Business and community issues. From affordable housing to impact fees to supporting businesses as we emerge from the pandemic, how can NAIOP engage with government to support the industry and the communities in which we operate?
