The 2060 Plan prepared by the 1000 Friends of Florida presented an ominous scenario of sprawling development in Florida. Since
then, new policies at the state and local level, changes in the availability of capital both for development and conservation, and
demographic and economic trends have likely altered Florida’s future outlook. Is 2060 just delayed, or have development patterns
changed forever? A panel of experts will discuss likely growth scenarios, define ways to capitalize on alternative development trends and present ideas on conservation, planning, financing,
and approaches to development that can be successful in these economic times and the future.
