NAIOP New Jersey Chapter Meeting Program will Focus on the Power of P3s

Woodbridge, NJ, September 19, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Economic development, job creation, infrastructure improvements and more are all at stake in New Jersey post-recession, and public/private partnerships are crucial to getting the job done. NAIOP New Jersey's upcoming program, "CEO Perspective: The Power of P3s," will address this timely issue at the commercial real estate development association's chapter meeting, slated for Tuesday, Sept. 30, at the Renaissance Woodbridge. The event will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Edward S. Walsh, principal and managing director of Avison Young will lead the timely discussion. Expert panelists include Peter Cocoziello, president and CEO of Advance Realty Group, discussing his company's award-winning New Jersey Center of Excellence at Bridgewater; Richard J. Landers, vice president of Campbell Soup Company, providing insight on his company's investment in transforming Camden and its workforce; and Christopher J. Molloy, SVP-research and economic development at Rutgers University, outlining the state university's goal of establishing an institute for the growing flavors and fragrance industry.

These projects - and others - are helping transform New Jersey's landscape, its mindset and employment potential. Speakers will address the risks involved from an investment and commercial real estate standpoint; the objectives - everything from local and regional economic development to infrastructure improvements; and the ultimate goal of making New Jersey more attractive to employers and the next generation of employees - the Millennials.

Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) are pending for attendees in multiple professions. To register, or for more information, contact NAIOP New Jersey at (732) 729-9900, or visit http://www.naiopnj.org/.
