Subsidies for upfitting/reuse

[Brett Radi]

I am looking at a commercial/industrial building that would be a good reuse project for retail/apartment multiuse in an area that the local government would like to be cleaned up a bit.  This would be an extensive and expensive project, but would benefit the city and community greatly.  My question is, does anyone have any experience with government subsidy negotiations or presenting my expectations to the local government of what they would need to do in order to make this project work for both of us?
