Annapolis, Md. – In preparation for a special breakout session during the 2011 NIC Regional Symposium in March, the National Investment Center for the Seniors Housing & Care Industry has issued a call for business plan submissions from seniors housing businesses interested in presenting investment opportunities to a panel of deal-making experts and investors. The opportunities must relate to the seniors housing and care industry and can range from services to real estate and span such areas as new development, recapitalization, acquisition, renovation or expansion, or new product offering.
