May 12, 2010 - Hear mayors, community development directors, economists, planners and national experts detail the strategies – from large projects to focused neighborhood efforts – that add value and attract residents and investments to our cities.

What new strategies of government incentives, grant-making and lending - and what new leveraging of private investment and job creation - can turn vacant mills and blighted blocks into mixed-use, mixed-income successful neighborhoods?

How do we use housing and related investments to improve neighborhoods so they offer quality housing and other needs to current residents; attract new residents, businesses and economic activity; and join the economic mainstream of the state? Hear the answers, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 26, at The Lyceum at “Urban Housing & Community Development: Coordinating Investments to Build Strong Neighborhoods & Healthy Homes.”
