VACANT PROPERTY STRATEGIES:
Turning the Lights Back On 

Vacant properties are often functionally obsolete – and you need the right tools to fix the problem. In this session Jason Vincent will examine the complex reasons why properties are unused, the critical importance of market alignment and expanding your toolbox with dreams & visions, master plans, zoning & code correction, parking strategies, and historic preservation tools to bring vacant buildings back to life in your community.

Featuring stories and examples from:
Downtown Norwich, Pawcatuck, and Stonington.

Speaker: Jason Vincent
President, Norwich Community Development Corporation

Issues addressed will include:

• Besides absentee ownership, what are other reasons for functionally obsolete properties?
• What are the community and regional impacts of vacant properties?
• How do we help private investors weigh the risk/reward of redevelopment?
• How do we implement the community vision by layering the redevelopment tools at our disposal?
