MEREDA to host Bangor panel on how to navigate development challenges

By Tina Fischer

The Maine Real Estate and Development Association's upcoming Morning Menu program, “City Hall to Construction Site,” will feature city leaders from Bangor and Brewer, discussing how municipal partnerships can help developers move projects from concept to completion. 

“From navigating permitting to aligning infrastructure improvements and even leveraging Bangor’s Foreign Trade Zone, this panel will give an insider’s view of how local leadership can accelerate growth in the region," said Shelly Clark, executive director of MEREDA.
