Equitable Brownfields Revitalization: Tools for Progress

This day and a half long workshop will explore the connections  
between brownfields revitalization, environmental justice, equitable  
development, and the issues that have made integrating these often- 
complementary efforts difficult and challenging.

TUESDAY, MAY 14 - 1:00 - 5:00 PM (Part one)          Location: GWCC,  
Room B 202
WEDNESDAY, MAY 15 - 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM (PART two)          Location:  
GWCC, Room B 314

DESCRIPTION:

Meeting participants will hear from community leaders on how they  
have forged successful partnerships between brownfields  
revitalization, equitable development and environmental justice. They  
will also explore why tying these efforts is critical and necessary  
to revitalize America’s disadvantaged communities, grow the economy,  
and create healthy and sustainable communities.  This event will also  
focus on building the capacity of participants to engage in  
brownfield revitalization issues in their neighborhoods, communities  
and regions.  Tools, resources and strategies will be introduced  
through panel discussions and peer-to-peer exchange.

On Tuesday, May 14, there will be an afternoon training on Cultural  
Competence from 1 – 5 pm for up to 25 attendees.

On Wednesday, May 15, there will be an all-day workshop on  
brownfields and equitable development for up to 60 attendees.

Please note: a registration fee (separate from the general conference  
registration fee) is required for the Tuesday training and the  
Wednesday workshop. Participants may register for one or both days.
