§ 44550 Participating Party Project Contracts

Key Takeaways

  • •The government can make deals with private groups to build or buy things like buildings or roads.
  • •The private group is in charge of designing and building the project, but the government can set rules and watch over them.
  • •The government can pay for the project little by little as it gets built.
  • •The government can own the project but let the private group use it or buy it over time.

Example

A city wants a new park but doesn’t have the money to build it all at once.

The city can make a deal with a company to design and build the park. The city pays the company bit by bit as the park is built. Once it’s done, the city owns the park but lets the company use it for events until they pay off the full cost.
