GrayRobinson is pleased to share Attorney Byron Flagg and Law Clerk Nathan Cochran discussed "Land Use and Zoning 101: Key Insights for Buying or Leasing Business Space" as part of UF Innovate's Lunch and Learn at The Hub in Gainesville, Fla. Their lunch and learn explored the basic legal aspects of land use and zoning, how land use and zoning laws affect start-up and expanding businesses, and basic land use due diligence before signing purchase contracts or lease agreements.
