Brownfields: A Story To Tell

Speakers

Mr. Rogers carried a note in his wallet that said: "there isn't anyone you couldn't love once you've heard their story." Believe it or not, this can be true even for those abandoned old industrial sites that plague almost every community. This webinar focuses on the significance of being able to tell the history of the impacts of contamination to our neighborhoods, and the humanity in redevelopment potential. Why is this important? Effectively telling the story of your project is critical to accessing resources, such as funding and partnerships. Join us to learn techniques to re-imagine the way you describe your brownfield redevelopment project to maximize the positive impact for communities, officials, and organizations. 

Climate Change and Brownfields

Speakers

Join us as we dive into key concepts related to climate change preparation and resiliency (climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, resilience) and how to apply this knowledge to future U.S. EPA brownfield funding applications. Attendees will be able to articulate how to redevelop their brownfield sites to better protect their communities from climate threats and reduce greenhouse gasses emissions through renewable energy and energy efficiency.

This webinar will present the benefits, special considerations, and a toolkit to help local governments, non-profits, and practitioners embark on their own brownfield Cinderella story!
