Webinar: Recognizing the Positive Economic Impacts of Superfund Reuse - August 22nd

Superfund Redevelopment Initiative Webinar Series: Recognizing the Positive Economic Impacts of Superfund Reuse - August 22, 2012, 2:00PM-4:00PM EDT(18:00-20:00 GMT). Superfund site cleanup and reuse has resulted in restored value to site properties and new economic opportunities for surrounding communities. Communities reuse Superfund sites in many ways new parks, shopping centers, athletic fields, wildlife sanctuaries, manufacturing facilities, residences, new roads and infrastructure centers are just a few examples. Once a site property is ready for reuse, it can revitalize a local economy with jobs, new businesses, tax revenues and local spending. EPA looks at many types of economic impacts of reuse at Superfund sites, including: number of on-site jobs, annual employment income from on-site jobs, on-site property value information, local property tax revenues, and other economic impacts that are unique to specific sites. This webinar will share the stories of how Superfund Redevelopment is spurring economic growth in three communities. For more information and to register, see http://clu-in.org/live .
