CAPITAL CONFERENCE 2012: THE POLITICS OF PLACEMAKING

 

Everyone’s talking about the fundamental role of placemaking in the economic revitalization of Michigan’s communities. But the economics of place has to start with the politics of place. Without legislation that provides a framework for the necessary funding and policies, we can’t move ahead on any of the initiatives that are so crucial to making our communities into the vibrant places where people want to live in the 21st century.

Capital Conference is where you'll hear about key state and federal issues that impact our communities, from the development of mass transit to the future fate of brownfield tax credits.

Take your place in Lansing at the League’s 2012 Capital Conference.
