Mohawk Valley Brownfields Developer Summit

Network. Explore. Invest.

October 6th and 7th, 2021 in Johnstown, NY

Please join the Mohawk Valley Brownfields Developer Summit to Network, Explore, and Invest in development opportunities in New York’s Mohawk Valley. This free, in-person Summit on October 6-7, 2021, is a historic collaboration of the six Mohawk Valley Counties to provide developers with a unique one-stop opportunity to:

• Network with local, state, and federal officials and redevelopment professionals.
• Explore development opportunities, available sites, the Valley’s needs, and how to build capital stacks from successful developers.
• Invest in the Mohawk Valley’s resurging economy.

The Summit will spotlight ways the counties are positioning properties for development, offer actionable information on grants, tax incentives and funding and facilitate connections to public and private sector resources. An estimated $2 billion investment in the Valley’s semiconductors and the innovation economy is creating a need for industrial, commercial, residential, and infill development. The expected surge in infrastructure and brownfield funding, coupled with the Valley’s economic renaissance is providing developers an unparalleled opportunity for investment.

Don’t miss this opportunity to Network, Explore and Invest in the Mohawk Valley.
