Vacant Property Strategies for Neighborhood Stabilization Conference--Webcast

The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago invites you to watch a webcast of Vacant Property Strategies for Neighborhood Stabilization on September 2, 2010.  The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Banks of Boston and Cleveland will present the conference to examine the community impacts of foreclosed and vacant properties.  The forum will help communities and practitioners better understand current barriers, promising practices, and regional differences related to neighborhood stabilization and the disposition of REO property.
 
In conjunction with the summit, the Federal Reserve will publish a volume of commissioned papers exploring the regional differences in REO disposition strategies.  In addition, the Federal Reserve will release selected findings from research conducted on the local uses of Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds.
 
The webcast can be viewed at the Chicago Fed’s auditorium in the third floor conference center.  Continental breakfast and box lunch will be served.  We will broadcast the summit live from Washington, DC, beginning at 8 a.m., sharp.  If you would like to attend the full webcast, please arrive by 7:45 so that you will have time to get through security.  Please remember to bring a photo ID, and to register in advance, as only individuals registered in advance will be admitted.
