Jon Morris of Beacon Partners in REBIC’s Member Spotlight

We’re proud to feature Jon Morris with Beacon Partners as our April Member Spotlight.  Here’s a peek at his bio:

“Jon’s energy and passion for life are contagious,” is the opening for Jon’s biography on the Beacon Partner’s website.  It goes on to describe him as thorough, passionate, and determined.  Once you know him well, this is a true reflection of what he stands for.  His responsibilities with Beacon Partners include overseeing the leasing, acquisition, and development platform for their industrial business, which is primarily focused on the Carolinas.  He is also tasked with following existing clients as they expand geographically.
His personal goal in relation to this industry when we asked him about the value of REBIC’s advocacy in driving the health of the Charlotte region is as follows: “We need to get the UDO to a spot where we grow our density, as a key component to creating affordable housing.  If we cave to NIMBY-ism and limit demand by crimping the supply of residences (single family, townhomes, apartments or otherwise), we will drive up housing prices and further erode affordability [options].  We have learned that lesson from California, Seattle, Austin, Denver, and numerous other peer cities.  Let’s employ that wisdom in our policymaking.”
