ULI And WRCOG To Host 'Developing Around Transit in Western Riverside County'

The Urban Land Institute Inland Empire District Council and Western Riverside Council of Governments present "Developing Around Transit in Western Riverside County," on Feb. 28 at Eagle Glen Golf Course in Corona, Calif. The symposium will address the challenges and opportunities in transit-oriented development.

Experts predict that within 20 years, Western Riverside County will have an additional 800,000 residents, making it California's second fastest growing region. In order for this sub-region to support its projected growth, it will need to make significant investments in the development of housing and transportation.

At the symposium, public and private professionals will discuss how bringing housing and jobs near transit developments can be a solution to transportation and land-use issues in Western Riverside County.

The conference will take place from 7:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Eagle Glen Golf Course, located at 1800 Eagle Glen Parkway, Corona, Calif.

Costs for attendance range from $45 for student members of ULI to $90 for private sector non-members of the organization.
