MEREDA to host annual Forecast Conference January 18

Portland, ME On January 18, more than 700 from one of Maine’s most economically powerful industries will gather for MEREDA’s annual Forecast Conference. 

“According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis’ most recent annual figures, real estate is the second most important driver of Maine’s GDP, behind only healthcare. The Maine Real Estate & Development Association (MEREDA) will gather to hone in on the health of the industry, hearing from more than two dozen industry leaders,” said Paul Peck, president of the board at MEREDA, an attorney at Drummond & Drummond, and the principal developer at LWS Development.

Members of the industry, including builders, developers, brokers, attorneys, architects, engineers, municipal leaders, and retailers or others managing large swaths of real estate are welcome to attend.

According to Shelly Clark, MEREDA’s VP of operations, the conference will be held at the Holiday Inn By the Bay from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
