PTI Presents Summit on Brownfield Technologies

Public Technology, Inc. presents the Local Government Brownfield Technology
Summit, March 6-7, 2001 at the Fort Worth Convention Center, Fort Worth,
TX. The goal of this two-day summit is to introduce and discuss, in a
non-technical format, what technologies are available for brownfield clean
up and how these technologies can save time and money for local governments.  

The summit will also further public/private partnerships and increase the
use of proven technologies within the following common problem areas: Dry
cleaners; gas stations; municipal landfills; and manufactured gas plants.

Registration for the Summit is free to local government officials.

Day one of the summit will consist of breakout sessions where local
government officials will provide their unique perspectives on how certain
technologies have been used within their cities or counties to clean up
specific sites.

Day two will consist of facilitated group discussions on key issues such as
choosing an innovative technology to use at specific sites and developing
creative partnerships. 

The Local Government Brownfield Technology Summit also offers attendees the
unique opportunity to talk with private sector experts about the status of
brownfield redevelopment in their jurisdictions. Officials can learn how to
evaluate alternative technology proposals, how to contract for services in
a way that protects the jurisdiction, and how to connect to networks like
PTI to confirm the effectiveness, cost, and appropriateness of brownfield
technologies.  

The Local Government Brownfield Technology Summit is sponsored by PTI,
EPA's Technology Innovation Office (TIO), the City of Fort Worth's
Environmental Management Department, and the Institute for Responsible
Management (IRM).

Registration is free for local government officials attending the summit.

The preliminary agenda and registration is available on-line at
www.brownfieldstech.org, or by contacting Ronda Mosley-Rovi, Director of
Environmental Programs at PTI, phone 202-626-2455.

PTI is the technology arm of the National League of Cities, the National
Association of Counties, and the International City/County Management
Association.
