Partners Drew Kervick and Geoff Hand will be participating in panels at the sixth annual White + Burke Vermont Development Conference on Wednesday, November 6 at the Hilton Waterfront Hotel in Burlington. The conference addresses current economic trends, permitting issues, economic growth, and looking forward to the future.
Drew will share his expertise on Opportunity Zones in a top ten format, briefing the audience on updates to and best practices for the 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Acts program. Drew presented on Opportunity Zones at last year’s event, and has previously written about the program in this blog.
Geoff will participate in a panel addressing the implications of developing on a site with contaminated soils, sharing his expertise in CERCLA (superfund) liability, the scope of implicated costs in both investigation and cleanup, property damage, and personal injury claims. Richard Spiese of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation will also speak on the panel, as well as Tom Broido (ATC Group Services LLC) and Miles Waite (Waite-Hendel Environmental Management).
The panels will address an audience of development and real estate professionals in attendance at the day-long event that includes networking, seminars, and workshops. Registration for the White + Burke Vermont Development Conference is open until November 6 and available here.
