Opportunities to Facilitate the Development of Low-Cost Lodging Private owners of low-cost lodging willing to accept long-term restrictions on room rates in exchange for tax benefits or cash; Private landowners willing to develop and maintain low-cost lodging, for an up-front subsidy of development costs; Public agencies with land willing to ground lease, and possibly accept below-market rent (Cities, Port & Harbor Districts); State Parks, if willing to solicit private sector development of low-cost lodging, with a relatively long concession term; Non-Profits willing to facilitate lodging development, pass through a subsidy, and then sell land with deed restriction requiring the maintenance of below-market room rates. Tools include ground leases, concessions, deed restrictions. POTENTIAL
