Breweries as Catalysts

Come join us is Cary! If you haven't been downtown in a while, prepare to be impressed.
Breweries have become key elements in redevelopment and are one of the "third spaces" in our communities. We'll explore how these environments are catalysts drawing people to a new development; using Downtown Cary and Chatham Street as our case study.

Great thoughts, food, and drinks. Come learn, network, and have a beer downtown...Downtown Cary that is!
The event starts with a panel presentation at Chatham Station and ends at Bond Brothers Beer Company with drinks and light snacks (1 beer and snacks included in registration)
