Brownfields Redevelopment, Community Revitalization, and Regional Planning: Making It Work Together
 
Date: Tue, Oct 25, 2011
Time: 4:00 PM EDT
Duration: 1 hour
Host(s): Smart Growth America and NALGEP
 
Communities across America are struggling to meet growing needs with fewer and fewer resources. Brownfield site cleanup and reuse can provide economic development opportunities for communities dealing with housing, transportation, or infrastructure issues.

Join Smart Growth America and NALGEP as we hear from the Environmental Protection Agency on how the federal government is working to streamline investments in community brownfield redevelopment and regional planning efforts, particularly through the federal Partnership for Sustainable Communities. We then will hear the stories and lessons learned from a community in West Virginia already working on brownfield cleanup in conjunction with other economic development projects.

Speakers include Adhir Kackar and Stacy Swartwood, EPA; and Dawn Seeburger working in Ranson, West Virginia.
