Entitled Navigating Westchester: Threading the Needle for Economic Growth, the event includes a panel discussion of the ins and outs of growing Westchester’s economy and making smart and transformative changes to its downtowns, Main Streets and urban centers.

The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on April 28 at Tappan Hill Mansion in Tarrytown.

Part of The Business Council of Westchester’s KeyBank Speaker Series, the breakfast event also features Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano, Harrison Mayor Ron Belmont and Bronxville Mayor Mary Marvin, who will offer perspectives on economic development in their respective communities.

They will be joined by William Mooney III, Director of Westchester’s Office of Economic Development; Marsha Gordon, President and CEO of The Business Council of Westchester; and two of Westchester’s top real estate developers—Robert Weisz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of RPW Group and Tim Jones, Partner and Managing Member of Robert Martin Company.
