The Highlands Council, the Center for Creative Land Recycling, and the NJ Brownfields Interagency Working Group came together to host the “Redevelopment in the Highlands: How your Community Can Benefit” workshop on May 14, 2019.  The impetus for the workshop was to provide municipalities in the Highlands and redevelopment professionals active guidance on rehabilitating derelict properties for community economic and environmental benefit in keeping with restrictions set to protect New Jersey’s drinking water.
