Where: Water’s Edge Events Center

Theme: Economic Development’s Role in Building Maryland’s Future

Housing has become one of the defining economic development issues of our time. Employers can’t attract talent without attainable housing. Communities can’t grow without strategic planning, infrastructure, partnerships, and local leadership. This conference will explore why housing has become an economic imperative, what’s preventing new housing from being built, and the practical solutions Maryland communities are using today.
