[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

On December 14, 2006, at 2 p.m. Eastern, the Disadvantaged Brownfields
Communities Network will host a 90-minute webcast, Dollars and Sense:
Smart Brownfields Financing Options for Disadvantaged Communities. The
webcast will provide an overview of federal and state financing
resources, discuss how to prepare brownfield properties for private
investment, and showcase communities that have implemented effective
financing strategies. The webcast will help distressed urban
neighborhoods, as well as rural communities, identify new financing
opportunities for brownfields renewal.

Webcast speakers will include:

    * Charlie Bartsch, ICF International, Washington, DC
    * Bonnie Anderson, ShoreBank Pacific, Portland, OR
    * Randy Muller, Bank of America, Lawrenceville, GA
    * Mark Gregor, City of Rochester, NY

The targeted audience for this webcast is elected leaders, local
government managers, planning and economic development directors,
community development officials, environmental justice representatives,
and other brownfields stakeholders.

A webcast combines telephone and Internet technology to give local
government managers and their staffs the opportunity to gain relevant,
useful information without travel, at low cost, and through a medium
that encourages collegial discussion of concerns and issues.
Participants must have a computer with Internet access (56K modem or
higher) and a separate telephone line for the audio portion of the webcast.

The Disadvantaged Brownfields Communities Network is managed by the
Northeast-Midwest Institute, the Sustainable Community Development
Group, and The Ferguson Group.

The webcast is free to the first 100 registrants, after which the cost
will be $40 per site. For more information and to register, visit
