The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality, Pulaski County Brownfields program and Technical Assistance to Brownfields program (Kansas State University) have scheduled a free Brownfields Resources Workshop on July 15th.
The workshop will be held at the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality Commission Room in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
The workshop will focus on various resources available to assist with the redevelopment of Brownfields sites to bring them to back to beneficial use. The sponsors of the workshop believe it will be of interest to anyone who has to address questions such as:
Does your community have an abandoned building, old gas station, or other potentially contaminated building that is impeding your future growth? Are there areas in your communities that could serve as the next location for a thriving commercial or industrial park or unique mixed-use development? Do you look at these sites and wonder where funding could come from to make this a vital contribution to your community?
The agenda topics include:
- What is a Brownfield and Steps for Successful Redevelopment
- State Brownfield Resources
- Federal Brownfield Resources
- Local Environmental Consultants Presentations with Case Studies
- Rural Development Resources
- Other Resources
- EPA Brownfields Grant Application Process Overview and Lessons Learned
- Success Stories
- One-on-One Site Consultations With the Experts
The workshop targets:
- Local and Regional Government Officials
- Economic and Community Development Organizations
- Lenders and Real-Estate Professionals
- Property Owners
- Consultants
- Anyone interested in learning about Brownfields or Financial Resources for Local Development
The workshop is free and open to anyone interested in the topic.
