Details
Triangle Business Journal launches its new Triangle Forward series with a panel discussion focused on real estate and its role as an economic development driver for the region. Panelists will discuss the role of real estate in the broader economy and how real estate decisions, rules and regulations can forward the cause of increased economic vitality including capital formation and creation of jobs.
The event will delve into the following:
• A broader look at the Triangle economy through the lens of the state's highest economic development official - the N.C. Commerce Secretary.
• What site selectors look for in company relocations and expansions, and how the Triangle is positioned to attract that growth.
