The Westchester County Association will host the 2017 Real Estate Summit on May 18 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Westchester Marriott Hotel in Tarrytown.
The event, “Transforming Westchester: From Innovative Planning to Regulatory Streamlining,” will focus on planning for housing and commercial development and the streamlining of regulation so projects can move at a beneficial pace for municipalities and developers alike.
“One of our goals is to convene stakeholders to drive the development of attainable, multi-family housing and mixed-use development here, especially because with employees working remotely and companies scaling back on commercial space, municipalities are increasingly dependent on residential tax revenue to stay in the black,” said Bill Mooney, president and CEO of the Westchester County Association.
The luncheon keynote speaker is Richard O”™Toole, general counsel and executive vice president of Related Companies, which is developing the Hudson Yards project on the West Side of Manhattan.
The event will also feature two panels: “The Changing Landscape of Westchester,” which will feature representatives from various development projects in the county, and “Smart Growth,” which will include municipal officials. There will be opportunity for networking and previewing various projects around the county.
Sponsors include Journal News Media Group, Sterling National Bank, TD Bank, Tompkins Mahopac Bank and Verizon.
Tickets are $125 for Westchester County Association members; $150 future members and $45 municipal representatives.
