When budgets are tight, capital projects often stall—but they don't have to. In this eye-opening keynote at Elevate 2025, you'll learn how to fund facility improvements by creatively stacking resources and making the business case to your leadership.
Warren County Public Schools—Kentucky's fastest-growing district—is tapping into a mix of grants, bonds, incentives, and more to power its infrastructure and energy initiatives. In this session, Chris McIntyre, CFO/COO/Treasurer and Construction Supervisor at WCPS, will walk through how your team can do the same.
He'll share:
- How
fund stacking
can bring capital projects to life
- Key ways to approach the C-suite about deferred maintenance and upgrades
- Examples of high-impact funding strategies across different facility types
- How to align your capital plan with long-term goals despite shifting financial conditions
- Insights you can apply right away—whether you run a school, a corporate campus, or a large public facility
You'll leave this session with practical ideas for getting the funding your projects deserve—and strategies to turn capital limitations into opportunities.
