Fernley Mayor Roy Edgington will participate in a panel discussion with three other Northern Nevada Mayors on commercial real estate development.

The Certified Commercial Investment Members (CCIM) of Northern Nevada Chapter will host the panel discussion on April 28, which will include Edgington and mayors Lori Bagwell of Carson City, Ed Lawson of Sparks and Hillary Schieve of Reno.

Commercial real estate development is a major indicator of economic vitality in a region. Northern Nevada has experienced unprecedented growth and demand for retail, industrial and multi-family developments to support the demand from residents and businesses alike. To address population growth in Northern Nevada, cities have been focusing planning and efforts on Affordable Housing, Rezoning, Building Codes, Infrastructure Improvements, Homelessness and the Public Lands Management Act which would allow local governments the ability to sell, develop and ensure conservation and sustainability of previously federally owned land.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn first-hand what programs, incentives, future plans and proposals are available and in development in Northern Nevada cities.”

The Northern Nevada CCIM chapter has invited four local Mayors to discuss what their local governments are doing to support and cultivate real estate development and ultimately support overall economic development:
