Fellow for Sustainable Development at the Urban Land Institute
Come hear Ed McMahon, noted author, attorney, lecturer and expert on creating and sustaining livable and prosperous communities. Asset based economic development, tourism promotion, and historic preservation are among the themes of Mr. McMahon’s publications and programs.
He has been providing guidance to communities and local leaders on issues facing “gateway communities” for more than a decade in work with the National Park Service capturing this work in a book he co-authored entitled, “Balancing Nature and Commerce in Gateway Communities.”
McMahon will provide examples of how communities use their assets to both enhance community quality of life as well as attract economic opportunity. Learn about how sustainable tourism and asset protection can benefit both residents and visitors in the South Mountain, Central Pennsylvania region.
Ed McMahon will also present material from his book “Better Models for Development in Pennsylvania.” He stresses the use of education, incentives and voluntary initiatives to encourage higher quality development.
