Tallest Building in Maine, say what!?
1/18/23
The housing shortage—is on everyone’s mind, increasingly so in Maine. Maine Real Estate and Development Association (MEREDA) works on this issue every day, and is our best chance of having the information we need to solve this crisis. And yes, we said crisis…when a city is not affordable, diverse, or inaccessible to new generations we have a problem.
An active member, chair of the Events Committee, and now Vice President of the Board of Directors of MEREDA, founder of Hay Runner, Shannon Richards enthusiastically brings these important issues, and people that can solve them to the table. MEREDA’s sole mission is to promote a fair environment for responsible development and ownership of real estate throughout the state. This upcoming season of gatherings, content and conversations will be robust. Stay tuned. We will make sure you are in the know.
