We got a lovely letter of thanks today from a Redevelopment Forum attendee:

I just wanted to send over my sincere thanks to you and all of NJ Future for putting on the Redevelopment Forum each year. I have attended as a professional and for both years as a student. It has been valuable each time I have attended, but this past Forum was extremely valuable to me. … The opportunity to network with planning folks in New Jersey that you provide at the Fourms is incredible.

Thank you for doing this forum, and particularly for offering student rates. I know that isn’t the easiest thing to do in difficult financial times, but it enabled me to attend.

Thank you for all your hard work. It matters.

We’ll be liveblogging the morning plenary session, the luncheon keynote address and the communications strategy session in the afternoon. If you can’t be at the Forum, please join us here! Continue reading →
