Investors, developers and builders can expect to learn site-specific details on available real estate opportunities, as well as gain an overview on how to purchase real estate from major land owners. The program will also provide insight on the City of Detroit’s development review processes.

The city’s new School Building Adaptive Re-use Zoning Ordinance Amendment will also be discussed.
