“As a long-time attendee, a past panelist, and a repeat sponsor, I am once again pleased to support and participate in the Vermont Development Conference. It’s really the only opportunity in our state for industry professionals including developers, builders, architects, engineers, lawyers, etc. to meet in one place to discuss both the challenges and opportunities in our areas of expertise. We often lament the many hurdles that we encounter on projects; here is an opportunity to learn, contribute and effect change in our industry.” – Evan Langfeldt, CEO, O’Brien Brothers
