Attorneys Geoff Hand and Megan Grove Present at the 10th Annual Vermont Development Conference

Attorneys Geoff Hand and Megan Grove are presenting at White & Burke’s 10th Annual Vermont Development Conference. This event allows opportunity to connect and network with industry leaders, fellow professionals and developers.

Megan will moderate a panel addressing the opportunities and challenges of redeveloping brownfields to build new housing in Vermont. Panelists will provide insight into their experiences navigating the legal and economic challenges associated with brownfields redevelopment, and how to tap into existing state resources.

Geoff will be speaking on a panel addressing the future land use regulation based on the passage of Act 181. This law significantly amended Act 250, Vermont’s statewide land use planning law, and will affect state, municipal and regional land use processes. Panelists will highlight changes in the law and the role and work of the newly created Land Use Review Board.

The 10th Annual Vermont Development Conference will be held on November 20 and you can register for conference here.
