Moderator, a Managing Director at NY Green Bank, will describe what green banks do, what NY Green Bank does, and NY Green Bank's approach, including a strong commitment to projects benefitting disadvantaged communities, as an asset-based lender in the New York State building sector. Moderator will then facilitate discussion with a fellow member of NY Green Bank's senior team and featured panelists, including a previous borrower that used NY Green Bank capital to complete a high-performance building project, as well as potentially another green bank or specialized finance company based in the Northeast U.S. who can speak to their approach financing projects outside of New York State. In the final portion of the session, the moderator will pose a question to the audience ("In your work, where do you see a need for more innovative financing/how could more innovative financing enable you to decarbonize more buildings at a faster rate? Where do you face challenges when it comes to securing financing for your projects? How can we work with companies/communities to help identify assets and package them for financing?") and audience members will have time to respond and get feedback from the moderator/panelists if desired.
