will give the keynote address.
Brownfields are typically
abandoned or underutilized industrial or commercial properties where
redevelopment is hampered due to the real or perceived presence of
environmental hazards. Putting these properties back into productive use
provides both environmental and economic benefits – it creates jobs, restores local economies
and cleans up the environment.
The National Brownfield
Associations is the brownfield industry’s largest member-based organization.
Its members include a wide range of public and private sector stakeholders,
among them, property owners, developers, investors, service professionals and
elected officials.
Cost for the event is $65
for NBA members and government representatives, and $90 for non-members. The
registration deadline is October 10.
