Making Your Market! How Creating a Brownfield Inventory can Bring Redevelopment Opportunities to Life
While brownfields are often negatively perceived, they are also a source of numerous opportunities for community revitalization, economic development, and amenities for residents. Identifying such properties and creating a detailed list of properties with specific property characteristics, “an inventory”, is a key first step in helping stakeholders make informed decisions about which sites to prioritize for cleanup and redevelopment. Join us as we learn from hands-on experiences of conducting a Brownfield Inventory regarding data structures and data management as well as best practices for your brownfields needs!
Please attend the session if you are an experienced practitioner looking for a fresh perspective on the brownfield inventory or just starting your brownfields journey, and looking for a place to start. The brownfield inventory is a great way to conduct reuse visioning or identify sites for future grant opportunities!
