Looking forward to Smart Growth America local leaders summit

Posted on by

Next Sunday-Monday I’ll be attending the Smart Growth America Local Leaders Policy Forum in Washington D.C.

Mayors, Councilmembers, Commissioners, agency directors and other officials from around the country will gather for the Local Leaders Policy Forum in Washington, D.C. “Revitalizing Communities” is the theme. The summit will feature interactive seminars on smart growth implementation; feature speakers who are the innovative leaders spearheading community change; and provide strategic networking opportunities with other top leaders.

I will be blogging and tweeting from the forum.

Seminars I’m looking forward to include:

  • Smart growth leadership: Politics, message branding and case making
  • Bringing back main streets and neighborhood retail (Very relevant to LMT since we are considering a new Neighborhood Commercial zone)
  • Managing revitalization in high growth markets. (Allentown!)
  • Smart growth:  Taking a triple bottom line approach.
