#24 takes us to an unlikely place that is a hot bed of Small AND regional thinking about the value of place as an economic development strategy. We will look at hospitality, residential, F+B and mixed use projects; talk about the value of high capability operating partners, the important role of regional thinking and how a local foundation incubated a big, Small movement.
#23rd was in a small town done right. Great infill of all types, entrepreneurial developers, a culture of creativity and excellent execution. Hospitality, residential, F+B and mixed use projects. Deep dive into how three small projects are financed. Hear how two decades of community policy and thoughtful local investors helped bring back the downtown, with a focus on urbanism, fine grained development and a ʻgoldilocksʻ balance of formula and local retail.
#22 took us to the 'city too big for one state'. Beyond just ʻdealsʻ we saw compelling examples of Small as an innovator in making enduring creative districts; pioneering re-investment in long forgotten and redlined neighborhoods; and explored interesting operating structures to build capacity and ownership amongst a broader group of stakeholders. Take aways included how KCMO has leveraged tax abatement to support Small development, the power of organic – vs highly prescriptive – redevelopment to create enduring places.
#21 explored opportunities in remote and rural communities. Once on the brink of bankruptcy, Bend rebounded into a magnet for lifestyle focused creatives and entrepreneurs. Leaders from the City – Planning, Parks and Rec, and Parking Management share how adherence to values and a vision result in positive outcomes over time. Two panels looked at creative ways to address housing affordability challenges. Words of wisdom from an experienced developer who ʻthinks Smallʻ and championed much of the long term vision of Bend.
