Register Online | Registration InformationAGENDA

This year many of the basic “rules of the game” about how to implement effective public/private partnerships for redevelopment have changed. The reason is the 2006 Florida legislation restricting the use of eminent domain. This legislation is in response to the backlash from the U.S. Supreme Court case of Kelo v. City of New London.

This year’s redevelopment series program focuses not only on the changes but also on how effective public/partnerships and land acquisition must now be done. Speakers include some of the best private and public sector practitioners from across the state. Whether you plan, regulate, consult or build in a redevelopment context, this program will provide valuable insight into the current politics and economics of working with Community Redevelopment Agencies.

Each Attendee will receive a copy of ULI’s booklet publication entitled, “Ten Principles of Public Private Partnerships
