November 15, 2016 \u2013 Newark, N.J.<\/strong> \u2013 On Wednesday, November 9, Deputy Mayor and Director of Newark Economic and Housing Development Baye Adofo-Wilson and President & Acting CEO of Newark Community Economic Development Corporation (Newark CEDC) Scott A. Blow hosted the second annual Development Finance Forum in the thriving heart of downtown Newark. The program drew more than 50 business owners, lenders, community development champions and real-estate owners, developers and attorneys for a morning of insight from experienced development-financing professionals.<\/p>\nThe centerpiece was a panel on the federal EB-5 program, which funds much of our nation\u2019s real-estate development activity. Newly reauthorized, EB-5 has drawn more than $3.1 billion in overseas investments to the United States \u2013 boosting the economy, generating more than 65,000 U.S. jobs and strengthening real estate development and housing.<\/p>\n\n
said Deputy Mayor Adofo-Wilson. \u201cEvery week I\u2019m truly astounded at the type of development that\u2019s taking place in downtown and in neighborhoods. Fostering creative paths to funding for continued development is one way we can keep thriving and spread this amazing prosperity throughout Newark.”<\/p>\n
Participants discussed crowdfunding, Israeli corporate bonds, public financing and other innovative funding sources. Newark Community EDC\u2019s Executive Vice President & Chief Real Estate Officer, Carmelo Garcia and Senior Vice President of Real Estate, Jesse Luis served as moderators for this exciting and informative event. Expert panelists included Min Chan, attorney at SkyView Property Advisors & EB-5 Regional Center; Lamont Blackstone, real estate advisor and principal of G. L. Blackstone & Associates; Jeff Monge, managing partner of Monge Capital Group and Mathew Abraham, community development group program manager for the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.<\/p>\n
The 2016 Development Finance Forum offered a great opportunity for real estate and development professionals to meet city officials, network with each other and pick up pointers while overlooking the city from the Newark Club\u2019s Metropolitan Room.<\/p>\n
