- Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) November 13, 2010 - The Great Recession may be over, but recovery has been slow, leaving commercial real estate vacancies high and jobs scarce. It is a time of introspection, when existing buildings and the market require careful analysis.

The keynote speaker will be Linda Kellner, Director of the Christie Administration's new Business Action Center, a one-stop shop for business retention and attraction, dedicated to assisting new and existing businesses in navigating the regulatory landscape in New Jersey. Its services include direction and support on everything from where to locate or expand, to licensing, business permits and certification processes.
A panel of industry experts will then discuss the repurposing of assets to meet emerging markets (medical, education, data centers, etc.), where prospective tenants are and what they need, new opportunities, financial strategies for distressed properties, how owners and developers are retrofitting industrial space and accommodating new demands, and the newest programs, tools and incentives available to help.
