PEI’s professional consultants have nearly 80 years of combined experience in education, economics, law, redevelopment, municipal finance, real estate development, engineering, planning, and budget analysis. All PEI consultants hold postgraduate degrees and have extensive experience in computer modeling and analysis, a key component of the firm’s services.
PEI has used its acknowledged leadership and expertise to successfully obtain and secure entitlements to billions of dollars in past and future redevelopment payments for educational facilities, which payments have been used by LEAs and their financial advisors to support and repay hundreds of millions of dollars in COP and lease-revenue bond financings.
PEI has been instrumental in obtaining favorable treatment of redevelopment pass-throughs to K-14 districts by County Auditor-Controllers (“A-Cs”) and RDAs in numerous counties throughout the State. PEI also played instrumental roles in the passage of AB 1290, AB 3718, SB 211, and other legislation preserving and expanding redevelopment entitlements for K-14 districts.
