Why Become A Pro-Housing Community?
4:00 - 5:00 PM
Presented by Matt Horn, MRB Group
With shortages driving up the cost of housing, the economic impacts are affecting every community. To encourage local governments to address this issue, Governor Hochul created the Pro-Housing Community Program in 2023. Its incentives are powerful; only communities that participate will be allowed to compete for some of the State's most significant funding opportunities.  This session will discuss the program requirements, and the benefits of joing New York's growing list of Pro Housing communities.

The Importance of Zoning Boards

Presented by Brian Kulpa, Imagine Solutions
Upholding the municipalities' identity and development pattern in the wake of new emerging land use types and the dawn of new retail, production and housing typologies is the very serious endeavor, which each municipal zoning board is vexed with in today's economy. We will explore those changes and how traditional zoning is being challenged regularly.
