Miami partner Alexander I. Tachmes and associate Joshua J. Heller published an article titled “Planning for P3 Success” in the November issue of Planning. In the article, Alex and Josh indicate that public-private partnerships (P3s) are one of the more complex and mutually beneficial vehicles for the development of public buildings or other projects in the public interest.

The article goes on to provide options to streamline the land-use approval process relating to a P3.
