Event Description:
Hosted by the national Center for Community Progress, RVP is the only national conference dedicated to strengthening communities through innovative solutions for vacant, abandoned, tax delinquent, and other problem properties. Themed “In Service of People and Place,” the seventh RVP will explore how work to reclaim vacant properties can, first and foremost, improve the wellbeing of existing residents and the places they call home. In 2016, RVP is expected to draw 1,000 professionals to Baltimore for more than sixty-five engaging sessions and other learning opportunities over the course of three days. Sessions will tackle practical strategies, research, and fresh ideas on a wide range of topics, including: demolition and other blight elimination techniques; equitable community development; code enforcement and nuisance abatement; property tax systems and tax foreclosure; data and information systems; arts, placemaking, and preservation; land banking; residential, non-residential, and green reuse; and access to capital in underserved communities. In addition to traditional conference sessions, mobile workshops will take participants to Baltimore’s neighborhoods to learn firsthand from the leaders who are working to reclaim and revitalize the city’s vacant properties. |
