   I attended and it was a long day. Keynote spoke about Land Banks, Then they had a panel discussing CRSI Act by Tim Ryan.
   Then there was 5 break out sessions. Lunch included a panel made up of HUD,DOT, and EPA reps. Afternoon had 5 other break out sessions. A wrap up session was at the end. I felt that it was a great learning experience.

Other than the landbank, is there any other ideas that we could/should use in Youngstown?
