Timothy Hegarty Presents on P3's in Higher Education

Zetlin & De Chiara LLP is pleased to announce that Timothy Hegarty will be participating in a discussion of public-private partnerships at an upcoming New Jersey Alliance for Action conference on higher education.

"Building Our Future" is taking place on June 18, 2013 at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. This timely discussion comes on the heels of New Jersey voters approving a $750 million higher education construction bond issue last November and Governor Christie recently putting forth to the Legislature $1.3 billion in higher education capital plans. The New Jersey Alliance for Action event, sponsored by Zetlin & De Chiara LLP, will include speakers from Rutgers University, Georgian Court University, Montclair State University, and The College of New Jersey among others.

Timothy Hegarty will present on a panel addressing public-private partnerships and allowing a private entity to assume full financial and administrative responsibility for on-campus construction, reconstruction, repair, alteration, improvement or extension of a building, structure, or facility.
