Developer briefing:
Karen Harkness, City of Appleton, Director of Community and Economic Development & Kara Homan, Outagamie County, Director of Development and Land Services
Future population growth will increase pressure for land development across the nation, state, region and City of Appleton. The demand for housing, particularly low to moderate incomes (LMI) and affordable price points, is a critical driver because growth cannot occur without places for people to live. Karen Harkness and Kara Homan will share regional and local data regarding housing demand, development, rehabilitation, affordability needs and market forecasts.
Panel discussion:
Manny Vasquez, vice president of business development at Pfefferle Companies, will lead a panel discussion focused on local market trends in the retail, industrial and office segments, as well as redevelopment, site selection and business recruitment opportunities across Northeast Wisconsin. Panelists include: Garritt Bader, principal, GB Real Estate Investments; Cole Alsbach, vice president of operations, Dark Horse Development; and Kelly Armstrong, vice president of economic development, Greater Green Bay Chamber.
Networking and reception:
Join a cocktail networking reception with members of the Northeast Wisconsin Regional Economic Partnership. Learn about the hot spots for development and how you might take advantage of shovel-ready projects, industrial park space, TIF and BID districts, repurchased buildings and more.
