Brownfields Opportunities for Western Communities
June 4, 2002 -- Salt Lake City, UT
View the agenda and register online at http://www.nalgep.org


Join Utah Governor Mike Leavitt and national brownfields experts to
identify tools and opportunities to reclaim brownfields, and unlock
economic prosperity in your community.

Join Us To: 

*       Learn about the new federal brownfields law;
*       Identify available state and federal brownfield resources and
funding; 
*       Learn from successful community brownfields programs; and
*       Develop strategies to overcome brownfields barriers.

Historically, local governments, developers, and lenders have avoided
involvement in properties with environmental contamination, or
"brownfields," due to fears of uncertain cleanup costs and the risk of
liability for contamination they did not create.  However, many
communities have begun to address these concerns and seize the emerging
opportunity of brownfields redevelopment as a tool for local economic
renewal.  

Redeveloping brownfields provides many benefits including: expediting
the cleanup of contaminated sites; renewing local economies by
stimulating redevelopment, creating jobs and enhancing the vitality of
communities; and limiting sprawl and its associated environmental problems.

Who Should Attend?

*       Local Government Officials
*       Developers
*       Land Owners
*       Bankers and Lenders 
*       Community Leaders
*       Attorneys and Consultants
