NJRA Redevelopment Training Institute Announces Workshops

Institute Offers Intensive Intermediate-Level Training Courses That Focus On Redevelopment of Neighborhoods and Communities


 

Trenton, NJThe New Jersey Redevelopment Authority (NJRA), an affiliate of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA), today announced that training courses are being offered as part of its Redevelopment Training Institute (RTI). The RTI focuses on outlining the redevelopment planning process in New Jersey for developers, consultants, and local government officials through classroom instruction and project tours.


The goal of the NJRA RTI is to instruct attendees on the nuances of New Jersey's unique redevelopment process and strengthen their knowledge of real estate development and project financing. The courses are interactive and combine lectures, discussions, small group activities and workshops, questions and answer sessions and case studies through multiple learning techniques.


"Anyone with an interest in redevelopment should take advantage of these courses to become better informed and make smarter redevelopment decisions," said NJRA Executive Director Leslie A. Anderson. "Now is the time to learn from leading experts in the field about how to avoid pitfalls during these challenging economic times."


The NJRA RTI, which is open to the public, offers training courses taught by industry leaders that cover such topics as redevelopment planning law, tax abatements and general assessment practices in redevelopment areas and real estate project feasibility. Classes are offered regionally across the State of New Jersey.

 

Upcoming classes will cover project finance, comprehensive real estate development. All classes run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
