RESUME PETER A. LIEBOWITZ, AICP – CONTINUED Long Branch Pier, Long Branch, NJ Mr. Liebowitz served as the Office in Charge for the AKRF Economic and Real Estate Advisory Service team responsible for market and feasibility analysis for commercial development on the City of Long Branch, NJ’s proposed new pier that will include ferry service to NYC. The AKRF teams’ scope of work included: market supply and demand analysis, detailed demographic analysis including the life style and spending profiles of the demographic segments in the project’s trade area, development program recommendations, and financial feasibility analysis including pro formas of potential development scenarios. Historic Easton Master Plan, Easton, MD Mr. Liebowitz served as the Project Executive and Project Manager for the Easton Downtown Plan for Infill Development. AKRF was retained by Historic Easton, Inc to create a master plan for Historic Easton’s Downtown district to redevelop underused infill areas, to strengthen the existing retail base, and to provide economic development opportunities within the context of Easton’s historic downtown. Belleayre Resort at Catskill Park, Ulster and Delaware Counties, NY As part of an Environmental Impact Statement underway for a large-scale resort development in the western Catskill region, Mr. Liebowitz was the Officer-in-Charge for the firm’s assignment in analyzing the secondary effects of the proposed development in the Route 28 Corridor. Critical elements of the study include defining the economic benefits accruing to the regional economy from the direct economic investment and assessing likely changes in employment and secondary economic activity generated by the new development. Detailed estimates of visitor spending patterns were generated based on the four season tourist season with golf courses, hotels, all clustered adjacent to the existing Bellearye Ski Center. The study identified the likely magnitude and location trends associated with secondary development demand created by the proposed Belleayre project. Broome County Sustainable Economic Development Study, Broome County, NY Mr. Liebowitz served as the Officer-in-Charge for the firm’s participation in this regional planning initiative. Working with AngelouEconomics, an economic development consultant specializing in high-technology industries, the firm provide planning, land use, and economic development support. Broome County, and its primary city of Binghamton, have a long and rich history with ample natural resources, a high quality of life, and an economic base strongly clustered in technology industries (perhaps most notably as the birthplace of IBM). However, similar to other Upstate New York communities, Broome County’s economy has declined over the past few decades and has steadily lost population. Issues of downtown revitalization and coordinated planning were seen as key ingredients to promote a strong and diversified economy that will preserve region’s high quality of life. Growth Management Workshop, Lake Placid, NY Mr. Liebowitz served as the Project Manager for this week-long visioning exercise that brought a wide variety of stakeholders together, including local elected and municipal staff from the Village of Lake Placid and the Town of North Elba, as well as key business leaders, citizens groups, and regional economic development organizations (most notably the Olympic Regional Development Authority). Mr. Liebowitz oversaw and facilitated extensive focus group sessions, development of consensus based policy initiatives, and public presentation of findings that provided direction for future municipal planning action. 12 Proposal For Capitalize Albany Corporation RFQ for Building a Tactical Revitalization Plan for Downtown Albany, NY

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy for Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority, Philadelphia, PA BACKGROUND E: rrowan@akrf.com AKRF’s Economic and Real Estate Advisory Services practice is currently advising the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority on reintroducing productive uses to an abandoned urban site. Unstable soil conditions triggered the demolition of over 1,000 homes in the now-vacant 35-acre Logan Triangle site in North Philadelphia. For the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority, we conducted a market analysis to identify viable uses, prepared a development program, and recommended a redevelopment strategy. We will be preparing proforma analyses, developing a funding strategy, assisting in early stage implemntation, and assisting with the developer solicitation process. In addition, we will also be working closely with AKRF’s water quality specialists to incorporate a green stormwater infrastructure practice, such as a wetland, in open areas designated for community use. Mr. Rowan is the Project Manager.
