We look forward to welcoming Robert Gaffney, Thomas Suozzi and others as our honored guests on September 19th for the Long Island Smart Growth Summit 2002, and cordially invite you to join us for this unprecedented full-day event. The Summit will bring together Long Island’s leadership, representing nearly 2.8 million residents, to showcase efforts to advance Smart Growth and Quality Communities throughout the greater region. It has become clear that over-development is a driving issue for communities. Business leaders also recognize that sprawl increases traffic congestion and contributes to housing shortages, making it difficult to maintain a qualified workforce. Smart Growth looks to control sprawl and to properly manage growth while meeting the needs of our businesses and communities. The Summit will highlight the best models nationwide and provide opportunities for each town to share its successes and engage in productive dialogue. Nassau and Suffolk County Executives, all Long Island Town Supervisors, other elected officials, planning and zoning board members, and municipal staff will attend, as will planning, engineering, highway and transportation professionals from throughout the region. Business, non-profit and development leaders from throughout the region and various parts of the state will also be involved. Importantly, this is a key opportunity to network and promote your organization at a regional level. Please reserve September 19th for this premier occasion. The event begins at 8:30 AM with networking and educational workshops. Afternoon workshops will provide opportunities for planning, design and legal professionals to earn continuing education credits. Sponsorship packages are available. Contact us at 631-261-0242 or info@visionlongisland.org to request more information or to arrange a meeting to discuss opportunities to make the most of this exciting event. More details will be available soon. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely,
Ron Stein
