Stop fighting the politics of local opposition, and start gaining approvals and winning neighbors. This session will use real-life experiences to provide you with insights and tips on how to overcome local opposition, manage confrontation, build community support for your projects and combat “not-in-my-backyard”
resistance. These case studies will explore what worked well, and not so well, for other developers and builders so you can build on their successes and avoid making the same mistakes. You also have an opportunity to share your challenges and toughest issues and let expert panelists offer suggestions for working toward a solution.
