Development agreements offer innovative solutions to local governments and private developers. Public-private development agreements provide various benefits to both parties, including flexibility for long-term projects, innovative funding and financing solutions for developers, and management of infrastructure, taxes, and other issues. Development agreements also provide government oversight and monitoring, more accessible funding, facilitation of a municipality’s comprehensive planning goals, and commitments for public facilities and off-site infrastructure.
Counsel negotiating development agreements must understand what terms will optimize the benefits and reduce the risks of public-private endeavors. A carefully thought-through and explicit agreement should ensure efficient implementation of the parties’ goals and protect them against legal challenges that could arise at different points in the project or plan’s lifecycle.
