KENNEDY ADDRESSES NATIONAL FUNDING ASSOCIATION CHAPTER
Loren S. Kennedy, CRE,
principal, Kennedy Advisors
LLC, Raleigh, N.C.,
addressed the Raleigh

Funding Association in 2011. He
spoke about government economic
development incentives, a funding vehicle
that can decrease the cost of capital
and lower operating costs for companies
planning growth projects. Kennedy’s
remarks noted that while Fortune 500
companies regularly take advantage of
these incentives, mid-market companies
are often unfamiliar with this funding
source. He also provided a case study of
a client project related to merger/acquisition
funding.
