Let’s talk about parking. It’s the Achilles heel of many developments. In the suburbs, parking is often free, but it drags down returns and drives up costs for urban developments. Structured parking can cost up to $25,000 per space, and subterranean garages double that. Remember—it’s expensive to park because it’s expensive to build. @rossboggess #parking #lexingtonky #development #sharethelex

🌟 Striving for competitiveness: @jasonrainey shares his macroeconomic thoughts on kentucky’s tax policies. It’s crucial to examine state tax incentives to stay ahead in the game. Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas are setting the bar high—what strategies are they implementing for success? The success stories of these states are telling, with massive funds and strategic incentives luring companies in. As we ponder Ohio’s billion-dollar fund for tax incentives, it’s a reminder of the importance of continuous improvement and policy evolution in Kentucky. #StateTaxIncentives #EconomicDevelopment #sharethelex
