Regional Redevelopment Summit

 

Are you ready for this?

Southeast Michigan’s leading voices on urban redevelopment are coming together for a one-day Regional Redevelopment Summit!  Now in its third year, the Summit is not only the signature event of the Michigan Suburbs Alliance’s redevelopment program, but it’s a key opportunity for development professionals to interact, shape policy, share innovations and make deals.

About the Summit:
At the 2008 Summit, we’ll empower you to carry a strong message about the unique redevelopment opportunities in Michigan.  With tactical training sessions on engaging media, navigating the upcoming Brownfields 2008 national conference or finding funders, this is your chance to sharpen your skill set.  Summit attendees will strategize to build momentum for state and federal policy changes.  As well, we’ll spotlight Michigan innovations in redevelopment, such as the Genesee Land Bank, that embody the energy and creativity of our region’s leaders.
