EDUCATION CLASSES Monday, May 20, 2013 9:00 am 12:00 noon How to Attract Developments That Bring Vitality to a Community Learn the types of developments that bring economic prosperity to a community from new retail development. Review the factors that benefit the community, such as jobs, real estate taxes, sales taxes, impact fees, revitalization of depressed areas and learn the different ways that public officials and developers interact for mutual benefit, what steps to follow and what to avoid. Beyond site selection, the dozens of entitlement approvals can make building the project quite costly and unreasonable. Therefore, seeking the right match and understanding of the other s needs and priorities is the key step for a productive partnership between government and the developer. This course also deals with different categories of public-private negotiations and provide specific case studies covering both suburban development and downtown renewal. ivan Baker, CEcD, AICP Director of Economic Development Tinley Park, IL Joe Marinucci President & CEO Downtown Cleveland Alliance Cleveland, OH winsley durand Omaha Chamber of Commerce Omaha, NE allison J. h. thompson, CEcD, EDFP Economic Development Director, City of Cedar Hill Cedar Hill, TX Tuesday, May 21, 2013 9:00 am 12:00 noon Current Trends in Development, Design and Construction In today s highly competitive and ever-changing retail economy, knowing the current trends in development, design and construction can make the difference between taking control of the marketplace, or losing control to your competition. The last five years have seen a radical change in the way we do business. Project types, deal structures, design innovations, tenant types, creative adaptive re-uses, and new construction techniques and management controls have evolved, all necessitating new ways of working (and surviving) in the evolving retail marketplace. The process of developing, designing, and building (or repositioning) a shopping center is the result of innovative thought, planning, teamwork, and effort. Our instructors will discuss what s working today, and why! ralph J conti, CCIM, CDP Founder & Principal Ra Co Real Estate Advisors Atlanta, GA Jeffrey J. gunning, AIA, LEED AP Senior Vice President RTKL gordon t. greeby, P.E., SCDP ICSC Past Trustee President The Greeby Companies, Inc.
