MEREDA's spring conference to focus on housing crisis
The Maine Real Estate & Development Association's Spring Conference will focus on Maine’s ongoing housing crisis.
MEREDA will host keynote speaker Sonja Trauss of the San Francisco housing advocacy group, Yes in My Back Yard.
There will be a presentation from economist Kenneth J. Entenmann of NBT Bank and a Maine housing presentation from Elizabeth Frazier of Pierce Atwood. Other panelists will be Nathan Szanton of the Szanton Co. and Daniel Stevenson from the city of Westbrook. The panel will be moderated by Shannon Richards of Hay Runner and John Finegan of the Boulos Co.
“Housing is the topic on everyone’s minds and we need to be having more conversations with more people about solutions to this crisis,” says MEREDA President Craig Young. “We want to go beyond NIMBY and policy debates to really explore this issue in new ways. Our Spring Conference brings together both industry experts and thought leaders to provide an opportunity for us to learn fresh ideas and think creatively.”
MEREDA will also unveil its 2023 MEREDA Index and recognize its 2022 Notable Project recipients at the Spring Conference.
It's planned for Thursday, May 25, from 1-5 p.m. The venue will be Holiday Inn By the Bay.
