In today’s evolving economic landscape, conversations around commercial and retail space are more vital than ever. Effingham's Jacob Lang, president of Lang Commercial Real Estate, brings over two decades of experience in helping communities attract, develop, and retain thriving commercial and retail establishments. His workshop, “Intelligent Growth: The Case for Commercial (and Retail!) Development,” is an invaluable opportunity to learn how intentional commercial planning benefits not only local businesses but also the broader community.
Why is this so important? The commercial and retail sectors drive local job creation, diversify revenue sources, and enhance the quality of life by bringing essential services closer to home. Understanding the intricacies of attracting and supporting these businesses allows community leaders and stakeholders to make informed decisions that stimulate sustainable growth. Jacob will share insights into the challenges and opportunities of building a robust commercial landscape as a foundation for lasting economic vitality.
