Fall has been conference season here at Strategic Economics! Back in September, Derek Braun and Arpita Banerjee attended the American Planning Association California Chapter conference in Fresno. It was a great time of catching up with old colleagues, meeting new ones, and learning from everyone’s latest work. Feeding a giraffe at the opening reception wasn’t bad either!

Meanwhile, Chris Holcomb is at the Mpact Transit + Community conference in Phoenix right this week (the week of 11/6). Be sure to say hi! Dena is off to the Build it Green California Housing Systems Innovators Network convening in Folsom, California.
In project news, we recently kicked off work on the San Leandro Economic Development Strategy and the Dublin Economic Development Strategy and Element. We’re excited to support these communities in identifying new opportunities and supporting their ongoing prosperity. We also wrapped up our three year engagement with the Metro Rail extension in Buffalo, New York, having prepared an Equitable TOD Strategy for the Corridor.
