Sustainability & Brownfields: Supporting a Sustainable Economy & Environment

• IDEQ

• CCLR

What is sustainability to you? Is it economic? Is it environmental? Something else? This session
will present the big picture of how sustainability applies to planning, design, economic
development, and how to connect the dots between these different activities through the lens
of brownfield redevelopment.

ARC Grants: Funding Tools for Land Reuse

• IDEQ

• CCLR

The EPA and IDEQ offer a variety of funding resources for assessment and cleanup of
brownfields, both directly to local governments and nonprofits, as well as indirectly through
state‐administered programs. Additionally, other federal and state agencies offer funding and
resources that can be used for infill projects. CCLR and IDEQ will provide you with a multiagency
toolbox of funding resources that could help fund your next redevelopment project.
