Take a simulated trip through the municipal entitlement process! This unique groundbreaker format will feature tables led by municipal development professionals from departments of building, engineer, planning, and legal. These are the professionals that you and your client must deal with on your way to obtaining permission to “put a shovel in the ground.” Here is a perfect opportunity for you to ask the questions of these department heads you always wanted to ask, and for our guest professionals to give you some valuable advice about effectively representing a client (from their perspective) at the municipal level.
