Public Finance

Kennedy & Graven is nationally recognized in all types of municipal financing. Our public finance attorneys are members of the National Association of Bond Lawyers and the Minnesota Institute of Public Finance. Along with our extensive practice in municipal bonds , we have represented over 250 local government clients in Minnesota alone.

Our Public Finance representation, in addition to municipal bonds , includes public finance mechanisms commonly used in economic development and redevelopment .

Tax increment Financing

Our firm has a particular strength in the area of tax increment financing. We assist in every aspect of the tax increment financing process, including creating the TIF financing district and structuring the deal (drafting the development plans and negotiating contracts).

Grants and Loans

We work with the various public finance programs as sponsored and administered by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) including JOBZ.
