Westchester is experienced a surge in growth: transit-oriented development, repurposing buildings, millennials moving to the county. How do we accommodate growth? How do we prevent delays on project approvals? What steps should municipalities take to prepare for the future? Westchester County Association (WCA) has created a new plan to mitigate development delays and promote community input on development projects.  “Westchester’s Development Action Plan,” is being developed by the WCA’s Real Estate & Housing Task Force, with input from hundreds of stakeholders,  comprised of real estate professionals,  municipal officials, developers, business people, architects, engineers, consultants, planners, and others.The group  produced the "Housing Policy Playbook," the first part of which will be distributed at the conference.
