KSM & Hoosier Energy Speaker Breakfast featuring Katie Culp, and Harold Gutzwiller
CCIM Indiana members joined SIOR Indiana for an insightful breakfast program featuring Katie Culp, CEO of KSM Location Advisors, and Harold Gutzwiller, Senior Manager of Economic Development at Hoosier Energy.
The discussion focused on several critical issues impacting commercial real estate and economic development across Indiana, including recent property tax reform, Tax Increment Financing (TIF), infrastructure investment, energy capacity, and the growing demand created by data center development.
Katie Culp provided a comprehensive overview of Indiana's evolving property tax landscape and the implications of SEA 1, highlighting how changes to property tax policy may influence local government finances, economic development resources, and future commercial projects. Attendees also gained valuable insight into the continued importance of TIF as one of Indiana's premier development tools and its role in supporting infrastructure improvements, redevelopment efforts, and long-term economic growth.
The program offered timely perspectives on the opportunities and challenges facing Indiana communities as they balance growth, infrastructure needs, and economic competitiveness. Thank you to Katie, Harold, and SIOR Indiana for facilitating an informative discussion on topics that continue to shape the future of commercial real estate throughout our state!
