Amendment 3 Tax Reform Explained Informational Event
The Orlando Metro Section of the American Planning Association, in collaboration with Central Florida ASPA, will be hosting an informative event - Tax Reform Explained: Impacts on Planning, Economic Development, and Local Government.
Come and join a panel of experts from planning, economic development, municipal finance, and redevelopment as they break down Amendment 3. The goal is to separate fact from fiction, and discuss the potential impacts on local governments, infrastructure investment, economic competitiveness, and community redevelopment.
Whether you work in the public, private, or nonprofit sector, this timely discussion will provide valuable insights into one of the most significant policy issues facing Florida communities today. The program includes expert presentations, audience participation, and an interactive Q&A session.
