Will you be in the room when members of Congress, real estate developers and investors discuss smart growth projects to make their communities great?
Everyone knows in order to close a deal or to change public policy, you have to be in the room.
The 2014 LOCUS Leadership Summit is set to assemble some of the most innovative mayors and developers from all over the country in one (large) room to share and learn the latest best practices, innovative policy solutions and smart growth projects in their communities.
This year’s summit, “Closing the Next [Smart Growth] Deal” will feature some of Smart Growth America’s Local Leaders Council members who understand the connection between smart growth and economic development. Here are some of the leaders you will find in the room:
Mayor Rick Danner, Greer, SC
“We see smart growth solutions as the only responsible way to address our transportation needs.”
Mayor Scott Avedisian, Warwick, RI
“Turning a smart growth vision into reality is not always easy, but it is important work. Public demand is stronger than ever for vibrant main streets, walkable downtowns and neighborhoods with more transportation and housing choices.”
