Putting Assets to Work: Unlocking the Value of Underused Real Estate

GFOA's Putting Assets to Work (PAW) initiative has brought together 14 jurisdictions to explore best practices, policy tools, and approaches to unlock new revenue and other public benefits from unused or underutilized land. PAW leaders have identified underutilized government-owned real estate valued at billions of dollars in both small and large jurisdictions. These jurisdictions are already beginning to realize new revenue and other community benefits, including affordable housing, clean energy, infrastructure, and criminal justice innovations. At this session, you will hear from the partners leading these efforts and the governments that have engaged in and are implementing this transformative work and learn how your government could engage in this initiative.
