The P3C Conference took place February 24 to 25 in Dallas, Texas, and offered in-depth, focused discussions on public-private partnership trends, practical financing techniques and ways that governments are working together to develop economically vibrant communities.

"We've gathered in Dallas today to discuss the role of public-private partnerships in our respective industries," said Civitas' Chief Executive Officer Dan Healy at the P3C Conference.  "At Civitas, we have three core businesses – Alternative Investments, EB-5 Funds and Wealth Management – which are tailored to serve the needs of global investors.  The success we've achieved wouldn't have been possible without public-private partnerships.  This model has enabled us to create thousands of jobs at zero cost to the American taxpayer."

Through its EB-5 Funds division, Civitas currently manages several regional centers covering a number of major U.S. markets. Civitas is also the exclusive EB-5 partner for several Texas cities, including Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth and Laredo.

Co-hosted by U.S. Representative Jared Polis (D-CO) and Steve Hill, the executive director of the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development, the EB-5 Investors Conference was held on March 8th in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The event featured important discussions on a wide range of EB-5 investment issues.

At the EB-5 Investors Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, Civitas' Chief of Staff Drexell Owusu noted, "It's an honor to be here alongside U.S. Representative Jared Polis from Colorado.  We're really excited about the recent establishment of the Civitas Denver Regional Center and the opportunity it gives us to attract foreign investment into the state."

Mr. Owusu continued, "Our track record is built around a culturally and financially savvy team that rigorously evaluates investment opportunities from every angle.  This fact, coupled with our unique ability to align the interests of our investors, developer partners and the municipalities we operate in, gives us great confidence in what we can achieve in the Denver-area."
