A Guide to Understanding and Evaluating the Use of Public-Private Partnerships for Public Buildings

6/24/202011/18/2020

This guide aims to help advocates, policymakers, and other stakeholders better understand and analyze public building (schools, etc.) public-private partnership (P3) proposals, contracts, and related legislation.

We describe critical issues and include key questions stakeholders can raise to ensure that a given project advances the public good. While this is not an exhaustive list of questions, it provides a useful framework to examine P3 deals involving public buildings.
