What the Heck Happened to My Neighborhood? (Small Scale)
2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Key Largo BC
Our panel of people who have “done it and been there” will discuss the reasons for a small urban neighborhood’s decline, and what strategies are effective to turn it around. This includes infill housing, foreclosure of dilapidated structures, rehabilitation, retail neighborhood development, utilization of a demolition program and much more. Their experience with what has worked and how to start things rolling will inspire you to get your program started.
Moderating: Ken Thomas, MPA, Housing and Redevelopment Manager, City of Leesburg
Speakers: Keith Bowers, Director, Florida A&M Small Business Development Center; and Nancy Wesoff, Executive Director, Pasco County Housing Authority
