On May 23, SDCI, along with the Office of Emergency Management (OEM), released the National Development Council’s (NDC) report to the City of Seattle, Funding URM Retrofits. The City engaged NDC to identify potential financing and funding mechanisms for retrofitting URM buildings with an emphasis on strategies to assist property owners who would face financial difficulties related to URM retrofit requirements and develop strategies to mitigate those financial impacts.
