Neighborhoods in Transition:
Redevelopment and the Environment
An Introductory Community Workshop

Saturday, June 10, 2006
9:00 am to 3:30 pm
St. Michael's Church basement, Fourth Street and Fairmount, Philadelphia

Sponsored by the Center for Public Environmental Oversight (CPEO), the 
Northern Liberties Neighborhood Association, and PennFuture.

Brownfields are properties that are contaminated or which might be 
contaminated. Preparing them for redevelopment is challenging, both 
legally and technically. But the people who live, work, study, or 
recreate on or near Brownfields have a key role to play in cleanup and 
development decisions. This workshop, initiated by CPEO - which conducts 
similar workshops across the United States - is designed to help 
residents of Philadelphia influence Brownfields projects to better 
protect public health and reuse impaired property.
