How Coverage Is Structured

Project, property, and board liability

Development and industrial authorities carry a distinct mix of exposure — owned and leased property, ongoing projects, contractual obligations, and a public board making decisions that affect an entire community. We structure coverage around each authority's portfolio and governance.

  • Property schedules covering owned, leased, and authority-held facilities.
  • Public official and management liability protecting trustees and board members.
  • General liability and contractual coverage tied to development and economic projects.

Why Burrows

Public authorities carry exposure on two fronts

Development authorities sit between public governance and active project management, and generic packages rarely address both. We bring carrier access for public authority risk, line-by-line review, and an advocate who understands trustee accountability and project-driven exposure.
