Green Bonds and Green Loans: Financial Products for a Sustainable Future
Date: September 13, 2021
Time: 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Location: Dallas Ballroom A3
Increased demand for green loans, green bonds and other green financial products and related initiatives are opening the door to increased financing opportunities for P3 projects. The heightened demand is also driving lower cost of capital when green financing is involved. Investors and banks are increasingly seeking green products to round out their portfolios, provide stability to their investors and meet the demand for sustainability. Many P3 projects meet the requirements for designation as green financing, including mass transit, water, energy and similar projects. This panel will focus on the increased demand for green financial products and the way P3 projects can benefit from green financing.
Moderator: Sarah Christian, Of Counsel, Winstead PC

Francisco Brugueras, Director, Barclays
Jeffrey Diehl, CEO & Executive Director, Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank
Stephen Morel, Chief Investment Officer, Montgomery County Green Bank

Perspectives on Transit Oriented Development and P3
Date: September 14, 2021
Time: 4:00-5:00 p.m.
Location: Dallas Ballroom D2
Successful Transit Oriented Development is occurring across the country, facilitated by convenient transit access and density around transit stations. Those projects need effective public and private sector engagement, in order to create market returns necessary for private investment and to achieve public interest goals (such as economic development, urban design, congestion relief and affordable housing). This session will bring together stakeholders from transit agencies, local governments, and developers to discuss best practices and examples of how public and private sectors have worked together to achieve success on each of their terms.
Moderator: David Staas, Shareholder, Winstead PC
