Public Finance + Economic Development
Buckley King has pioneered very creative solutions to some of the most difficult financing needs.
With deep insight in public finance, Buckley King negotiates first-impression projects in which public and private entities participate, including development of multi-use projects in low income communities of Cuyahoga County, the City of Chicago, and the City of Milwaukee. We advocate before state and federal regulatory and administrative agencies concerning municipal, community and economic development projects, educational matters, licensing, and financial services.
