2016 Georgia Brownfield Seminar

The Georgia Brownfield Association hosted its second annual Brownfield Seminar at Georgia Power on Wednesday, April 20, 2016. The sold-out event provided a forum for discussions about the environmental, financial, regulatory, and community factors that guide brownfield remediation and redevelopment. 

Seminar presenters shared information, case studies, and research about topics including EPD voluntary cleanup programs, Georgia investment and relocation trends, vapor intrusion best practices and innovative technologies, the brownfield redevelopment of Fort McPherson, and partnership strategies for in-town revitalization.
