Special Districts
Special districts (special purpose taxing districts) can provide efficient and effective means of funding public improvements. At the same time, they often involve significant complexity, given the number of stakeholders, political considerations, and sophisticated financing needs.
Barnes & Thornburg attorneys have extensive experience successfully guiding special districts through some of their most challenging issues. The team has advised special districts across multiple states on financing and administering master-planned communities and regional public infrastructure projects. We also counsel project lenders in construction and permanent financing transactions on special district matters and related deal considerations, as well as underwriters in connection with special district debt offerings.
