MEREDA will welcome Democratic Nominee Hannah Pingree, Independent Nominee Rick Bennett, and Republican Nominee Bobby Charles to its Fall Conference on Wednesday, September 16th.

The future of our communities has never been more important. This gubernatorial race brings housing, economic development, and affordability to the forefront. Commercial and residential real estate are at the center of these conversations—from expanding housing opportunities and supporting local businesses to revitalizing downtowns and strengthening our economy. This conference gives each candidate the opportunity to present their vision and solution for these important issues.

This event will be informative for MEREDA members and all Maine voters. It will also help set the stage for the next four to eight years of housing and economic policy from the Blaine House.

Ken Entenmann, CFA, Chief Investment Officer & Chief economist at NBT Bank/NBT Wealth Management will provide an economic update.
