While we're on winter hiatus we'll be publishing podcasts of some of the most compelling and challenging sessions from our October NJ Spotlight On Cities conference, as well as a podcast diary of a colleague who is struggling with breast cancer.
Builders and developers play obvious and integral roles in the revitalization of a city. So at NJ Spotlight On Cities, we thought we’d ask some of the most prominent developers in the state — particularly those who have been working in New Jersey’s urban centers — for their take on the roles of both the private and public sectors in reenergizing a city.
Peter Kasabach, executive director of New Jersey Future, moderated the panel that featured Ron Beit, CEO of RBH Group, LLC and president of RBH Management; Paul Silverman, co¬-founder and principal of Silverman; and Christiana Foglio¬-Palmer, CEO of Community Investment Strategies.
The session on development was one of a dozen panels at this year’s inaugural NJ Spotlight On Cities. Now we’re gearing up for our second year, to be held in the fall. Is there a development proposal near you that we should be taking a closer look at? Whether a success story, an exciting prospect, or a cautionary tale, we want to hear from you. Tell us about it by emailing us at oncities@njspotlight.com.
