Somerville is one of the most walkable cities in New England, and the city’s transformation has not slowed down.

Learn how the city has helped facilitate this transformation from Somerville Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone at the 2015 LOCUS New England Leadership Summit, March 11, 2015 in Boston, MA. You’ll hear how the city and private sector worked together, and learn about new development opportunities in Somerville and across New England.

Mayor Curtatone will discuss the makings of a walkable neighborhood and the future of walkable places in New England as a panelist during the event. He joins an impressive agenda full of elected officials and real estate leaders from across the Boston area, including representatives from Revere, MA and Nashua, NH, who will also be speaking about neighborhood revitalization efforts and future development in their cities.

The 2015 LOCUS New England Leadership Summit is the place where smart growth deals get done. Register today to join elected officials and real estate developers from across New England. We hope to see you in March.
