CCLR Workshops

With its partners, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the State of Hawaii Department of Health, Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response Office (DOH-HEER), CCLR convened workshops on July 10 and 12 to inform and share among key policymakers, county staff and stakeholders, the brownfields challenges and solutions in Hawai’i.

CCLR’s 3rd Annual NYS Redevelopment Summit was held on June 13th and 14th, 2018 at the Sage College of Albany in Albany, NY. The program included over 52 expert speakers from the public and private sectors who provided essential information to over 250 Summit participants on  redevelopment trends, funding and innovations needed to accelerate land reuse projects. The Summit demonstrated CCLR’s leadership role in supporting national, state and local programs and policy for brownfield redevelopment and created a forum for information exchange and connections. 

Redevelopment does not happen overnight, ideas evolve and dreams endure. 

CCLR’s Vision-to-Action — V2A — brings together stakeholders to inspire better futures for their neighborhoods, such as Richmond’s 23rd Street, Calle 23, the heart of Richmond’s Latino business district.

During the week of May 7th, 2018, CCLR and its partners EDS, DISUR, and CDM Smith worked with U.S. EPA to organize a series of brownfields redevelopment events in Guaynabo.  Those events included the 4th Cumbre para el Desarrollo de Brownfields en Puerto Rico on May 10th. 

Materials for these events are listed here.

BL’s solar energy development event will take place on the campus of the New Jersey Institute of Technology in downtown Newark, New Jersey for one robust and exciting day of solar development programming.

On March 31st, the 23rd Street neighborhood in Richmond came together at Richmond Union High School to reimagine the possibilities for the 23rd Street corridor, also known as Calle 23. Just a short walk from the Richmond BART and Amtrak Stations, Richmond Civic Center and the Richmond Greenway, Calle 23 is ripe with redevelopment opportunities.
