The `Great Recession' has made this job especially daunting for everyone—including communities that were previously well-positioned in the marketplace. Many believe this is not a short-lived situation, but represents a `new normal' for the marketplace, i.e.the metrics that will govern the economics of development and redevelopment in the foreseeable future will be fundamentally different than the past. Navigating the New Normal is a ULI MN workshop that offers a practical approach to the new challenges of development and redevelopment. It focuses on your city—or a cluster of cities—in a way that strengthens your understanding of today's realities of development and redevelopment.Navigating the New Normal is designed to foster a dialogue about the opportunities and challenges inherent in a new economy based upon shifts in the market and changing demographics. Navigating the New Normal Objectives ULI MN volunteers will partner with you to lead an interactive two hour workshop geared towards your City Council,Planning Commission,EDA/HRA members,and staff. The ULI MN team will comprise a cross section of professionals representing disciplines such as design, finance,development,planning and marketing. The workshop will be held at a locale and time of your choosing. The workshop is perfect for a pre-Council or Planning Commission meeting work session. City clusters are encouraged but not required! A workshop involving two or three cities with similar interests may provide a great venue for presentation and dialogue.
