Perdue School Co-Hosts Real Estate Seminar Friday, December 6

SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business co-hosts the seminar “Place-Making Economic Development and Corporate/University Real Estate Value Creation Strategies” 9 a.m.-noon Friday, December 6, in Perdue Hall’s Bennett Family Auditorium.

The seminar, also presented by Sperry Van Ness and the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, presents strategies and ideas organizers hope will serve as a catalyst for economic development projects and real estate strategies that will bring a new sense of market possibility to the Delmarva Peninsula.

Topics include creating strategic marketing plans and new “market stories” to transform under-productive real estate assets; developing place-making and branding strategies to help attract those seeking to relocate; and exploring how corporate, government and university real estate decisions may foster new economic development opportunities.

In connection with the seminar, SU’s Business, Economic and Community Outreach Network (BEACON) unveils its new sustainable housing and real estate initiative. For more information visit http://shoresu.weebly.com.
