  18. 3:12 - The HRP Podcast, Episode 56: The Developer's Perspective - At the Mohawk Valley Brownfields Developer Summit

    Episode 56

    Show notes

    This episode was recorded at the 2025 Mohawk Valley Brownfields Developer Summit.

    Sumeet Gupta is an upstate native with a storied career that has taken him around the world. He’s returned to the valley to pursue the promise he sees in this region. HRP’s been a big part of the summit for several years now, and we figured that a developer like Sumeet is the perfect guest to talk to about the value of the summit, not only for developers but for every community that’s impacted by brownfields.

    As listeners know, 3:12 is divided into a work hard and a play hard segment. We spoke with Sumeet for our work hard segment and for play hard I sat down with HRP’s John Gorman. John is Buffalo, NY based so our paths don’t usually cross unless we’re both at the summit. Since we’re both movie fans, I used the opportunity to talk with John about what he’s been watching lately. You can listen to that segment or watch the video version on HRP’s YouTube channel.
