As a community, business or government leader on Long Island, we would like to invite you once again to join us at the 13th Annual Smart Growth Summit, being held on Friday, November 21st from 8am-4pm at the Melville Marriott.

Last year's event drew nearly 1,100 civic, chambers, developers, environmentalists, design professionals, business leaders, young people and federal, state, county, town and village officials from Long Island and the region.

Thanks to the work of the broader Smart Growth movement there are now many examples of downtown transformation taking shape.  The Summit continues to tackle the needs of leaders working in the field where it is practical to learn from and support each others initiatives.  The post Sandy efforts of neighborhood and government leaders are bringing resources from the State and Federal government to help rebuild our communities with unprecedented investments in our infrastructure.  There is still tremendous work to do to realize the goal of helping many Long Island communities realize their vision of downtown renewal and enhanced placemaking. 

The 13th Annual Smart Growth Summit will feature networking, a trade show, over 20 workshops, a youth summit and plenary sessions on regional and local issues facing mixed-use development. Some sessions will include: downtown revitalization, wastewater infrastructure, financing Smart Growth, downtown retail, transit-oriented development, clean energy, youth leadership, regional projects, fair housing/segregation, off Island case examples, post-Sandy resiliance and many others to be announced in the coming weeks based on input from the broader movement.

Our goal is to once again have over 1,100 leaders working together. So here is where we need your help: please plan to join us and consider sponsoring the event.   (Note the lunch session is already close to selling out) Attached is sponsorship and registration information (limited scholarships are available for community & youth leadership). If you have any questions, please call us at 631-261-0242.

If you are one of the thousands of Long Island leaders who have joined us in the past, please do so again. If you are new to the event and the Smart Growth movement, please consider partnering with us this year. Either way, we need your leadership, presence and voice to make great places a reality on Long Island.

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
