Inc. are currently accepting applications for the second round of their
Creating Community-Based Brownfields Redevelopment Strategies Training
Workshops. The January 18 deadline is approaching fast. Please forward

Creating Community-Based Brownfields Redevelopment Strategies Training
Workshop

The American Planning Association and Bethel New Life, Inc. have
designed an interactive, three-hour training workshop designed to
educate and empower community-based organizations dealing with
brownfields issues. The training opens with a focus on developing an
understanding of brownfields as opportunities and creating a community
vision. Participants then select among three break-out sessions on
redevelopment, cleanup, or finance. A new module has been added for
Round II to allow participants to discuss local brownfields issues. This
portion of the program is co-taught with the local host, APA, and
Bethel. The workshop wraps up with a discussion on building community
support and on next steps - where to locate resources, get help, and
find partners.

Organizations participating in Round II training workshops must be able
to organize an event that takes place between March and September 2008.

Applications are due by Friday, January 18, 2008. Visit
