Buzz Roberts showed an early understanding of how community development financing works.

“When I was in high school, I was a big New York Rangers [hockey] fan, but I could never get tickets to playoff games because unless you were a season-ticket, you had to camp out for them,” said Roberts. “So finally, I got season tickets and syndicated them: I went to 10 games and sold the other 30 to my friends in high school. Ultimately, I got to see playoff games.”
