LOCUS and LOCUS Massachusetts are excited to announce the first ever New England Development and Investment Showcase at the 2018 LOCUS New England Leadership Summit on October 24, 2018. The Showcase is a space for town planners, economic development directors, chamber of commerce leaders, and anyone with challenging development opportunities to exhibit their project sites to a diverse group of real estate and economic development industry insiders. Learn more and submit information about your site here.

The Showcase, and the New England Leadership Summit, is a special, day-long opportunity to collaborate with like-minded real estate and development professionals on cutting edge policy ideas and real estate deals that will help redefine the future of walkable, triple-bottom-line development across the region.

The showcase will last throughout the day of Summit programming and will culminate in an interactive networking and dealmaking reception following the closing keynote address. Read the full Summit agenda here.
