Moderated by Anthony Bonamy, the panel featured city and county leaders, including Steven Anthony, Director of Miami Beach Economic Development, Cassneve Oupelle, Director of the NW 79th Street Corridor Community Redevelopment Agency and Nancy Metayer Bowen, Vice Mayor of the City of Coral Gables, who shared insights on aligning business strategies with regional growth priorities. Panelists explored how businesses can tap into procurement pipelines, innovation districts, and redevelopment projects to drive equity and innovation. The message was clear: prosperity is a shared effort, and when public and private sectors work together, communities thrive.
