Jacksonville and the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront provide the perfect setting for the 2009 APA Florida conference, to be held September 15th – 18th.  The First Coast is one of the most youthful, emerging metropolitan regions in Florida while also being the oldest, continually settled area in North America.
 
This year’s conference theme, Bridging the Past to Tomorrow, says it all.  Primary focus areas for the conference include historic preservation and revitalization, economic development and stimulus, infrastructure, water resources, and professional development.  In total, there will be over 55 sessions spanning 6 conference tracks. 

In addition, 8 mobile workshops are planned, highlighting the historic cities of St. Augustine and Fernandina Beach, the St. Johns River, preservation and revitalization efforts in the urban core and beach communities, and economic development issues involving the Port of Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport.

Our keynote speakers are Neal Peirce, a nationally-syndicated columnist and foremost writer on metropolitan regions, Shelly Poticha, Executive Director and CEO of Reconnecting America and the Center for Transit-Oriented Development, and Paul Farmer, FAICP, Executive Director and CEO of APA.  Furthermore, we will open the conference with an update on planning and development on the First Coast and close the conference with a panel discussion on water issues throughout Florida.
