Planning a new building or facility can feel like a mountain of unknowns — aging infrastructure, unclear budgets, procurement rules, and rising expectations from the community you serve. AEPA's next free webinar walks through how cooperative purchasing can make that process a lot more manageable.
Building Better Community Facilities Through Cooperative Purchasing
📅 July 22, 2026
🕐 1:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM CT / 11:00 AM MT / 10:00 AM PT
💻 Live via Zoom — free to attend
What you'll learn:
- The common roadblocks schools, parks, and community organizations run into when trying to deliver new facilities
- How to kick off the planning process — setting clear project goals, building early design concepts and budgets, and getting stakeholders aligned before construction starts
- How to use AEPA contracts to source plans and materials for custom site-built buildings, while keeping flexibility in how the project actually gets built
- Ways to keep local contractors involved, including owner-supplied materials and local installation bidding
This session is a good fit for facility directors, business officials, and anyone weighing a new build against the usual traditional-bid headache.
