Speakers will cover three projects that have been implemented in the Midwest through the Sustainable Communities Project:
Indianapolis, IN
This project focused in on several Indianapolis neighborhoods which have experienced severe population loss, contains multiple brownfield sites, and is the focus of potential transportation investment. The project team analyzed opportunities for coordination of federal, state, and local investment in the neighborhoods, and created a structured investment plan.
Toledo, OH
EPA's community efforts in Toledo builds on the investment of brownfield assessment and cleanup work around the former Jeep Site, a large, contaminated property northwest of downtown. Over the past couple of years, we have been working with local partners to develop a strategy and workplan to implement improvements to the surrounding communities that will be impacted by the Jeep site redevelopment. We will present our progress to date, and some of the upcoming challenges and opportunities as this project moves forward.
Moline, IL
Significant transportation funding has been designated toward the creation of a high speed rail line and station serving Moline, Illinois. The rail station will be built on a former a brownfield site, which is a former Sears warehouse, adjacent to the successful John Deere Commons downtown redevelopment project. The project team brought in expertise to bring together the practical issues and challenges associated with application of green building approaches in concert with historic preservation
