Join us on September 22, 2025, from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM MDT for an informative Ladies in Land Lunch & Learn, hosted by Meritage Homes in Denver, Colorado.
This session, “Metro District Financing 101,” will feature Laci Knowles, Managing Director of the Development Finance Group at D.A. Davidson & Co., who will lead a deep dive into how metropolitan districts are used to finance critical public infrastructure across Colorado.
With over 2,200 active metro districts statewide, these entities play a vital role in delivering streets, sidewalks, parks, water, and sewer systems that support housing for millions. Laci will provide a comprehensive overview of how metro districts function and how builders and developers leverage them to create more affordable housing options through cost-effective public financing.
We’ll cover: • What metro districts are and how they operate
• How metro districts support large-scale housing development
• Financing mechanisms and cost recovery strategies
• The role of public infrastructure in community building
• How developers and builders can effectively utilize metro districts
This session is ideal for developers, builders, planners, and real estate professionals looking to better understand the financial tools that make housing development possible in Colorado.
