A New Path Forward
A Southland Business Forum on the Economic Promise of Trail Development

Tuesday, September 30, 2008
8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Doubletree Hotel Chicago Alsip
5000 W. 127th Street, Alsip, IL

Across the country and right next door, private and public partnerships are
generating sustainable and resilient economic growth through multi-use
trail system development, while improving quality of life and lessening
environmental impact: A Triple Bottom Line.

With corridors in place for a regional trail network, the Chicago Southland
is poised for the same transformation.

The Chicago Southland Convention & Visitors Bureau invites you to join
business, community development, and local leaders on Tuesday, September 30
at the Doubletree Hotel Chicago Alsip as we learn from national and
regional experts how we can move forward into an era of trail-based Triple
Bottom Line development.

Join us in exploring a new path forward for the Southland region!

Featured Speakers:

Ray Irvin, former Bicycle Coordinator, Indiana Department of Transportation
Ray led the development of Indianapolis's Monon Trail [ http://
http://www.indygreenways.org/monon/monon.htm ] and the innovative
public/private partnerships that have made the Monon Trail a strategic
community development tool for the Indianapolis metro area.

Terry Eastin, Arkansas River Trail's Medical Mile
Terry was instrumental in forming the Medical Mile [
http://www.americantrails.org/resources/health/medmile06.html ] by
redefining trails as health infrastructure and reaching out to health care
and corporations as wellness partners.

Ron Carter, President of the Greenways Foundation
Ron directs the Greenways Foundation [ http://www.indygreenways.org/ ], an
Indiana-based foundation that develops trail infrastructure through
community development partnerships.

Ginny Sullivan, New Routes Coordinator, Adventure Cycling Association
Ginny coordinated the creation of the Underground Railroad Route [
http://www.adventurecycling.org/ugrr/ ], the first system of bicycle routes
and maps that explore African-American history from Alabama to Ontario.

Stephen Wolter, Executive Director, Eppley Institute for Parks and Public
Lands, Indiana University
A nationally respected researcher in trails' impact on the Triple Bottom
Line, Stephen's current research includes a seminal study on trails'
economic impact and the characteristics and usage patterns that affect it [
http://info.hper.indiana.edu/sb/page/normal/1282.html ].

emcees:
Jim Garrett, Chicago Southland Convention & Visitors Bureau
Michael Scholefield, Chicago Southland Economic Development Council
