Small-Scale Development Workshop - March 7, 2024

The City of Paducah is holding a Small-Scale Development Workshop on Thursday, March 7 from 9 a.m. until approximately 5 p.m. at West Kentucky Community and Technical College, Crounse Hall, Room 101 (4810 Alben Barkley Drive).

The City of Paducah is partnering with Incremental Development Alliance, a national non-profit organization that provides education for small scale developers, empowering them to increase the quantity and quality of their projects. This one-day workshop will help attendees analyze what makes a good project, learn how a building makes money, determine first steps in getting started as a developer with little to no resources, review site selection and project sizing, interpret zoning, and meet people who can help and support a project.

The early bird registration rate of $150 is open through February 16 with the regular registration fee of $170 open until March 1. Depending upon available space, the last minute registration rate will be $190. A limited number of scholarships are available. Visit the registration link for the scholarship application.
