Real Estate development in Florida virtually collapsed over the past few years. In addition to questions about lending and mortgage practices, the aftermath of this collapse contributed to a re-examination of real estate development practices.

Bill Tuyn will be focusing his message on the future of development and town planning throughout the country, but particularly in Florida, and more specifically in Florida’s small towns. With extensive experience in the environmental and land development fields, Mr. Tuyn has over twenty-seven years experience in the design and management of land development projects and environmental assessments.　

He has spent significant time abroad observing and comparing development patterns, and now represents a wide range of clients throughout the country.　 His extensive experience on a variety of projects in diverse locations and conditions has made him a sought after lecturer, panelist and advisor on such issues as environmental permitting, development constraints, and land use planning.　

Bill Tuyn serves on the Board of Directors of the National Association of Home Builders, the New York State Builders Association, the New York State Research and Education Foundation, and other specialized associations. He is also an active member of the Congress for the New Urbanism.　 A member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, he was recently named to the Board of Advisors of Sansur Renewable Energy, Inc., a Tampa, Florida based international wind and solar energy company.
