The Center for Creative Land Recycling organized a full-day course focusing on fostering economic growth and creating vibrant communities through land reuse and brownfield redevelopment in San Jose.
 

The Center for Creative Land Recycling (CCLR) and New Partners for Community Redevelopment (NPCR) are featuring a Redevelopment Rodeo at its upcoming "Economic and Community Revitalization Through Planning and Brownfield Redevelopment" conference in Albany, NY on June 7th and 8th. 

CCLR and its partners, Maul Foster Alongi (MFA), the Skamania County and the City of Stevenson, WA, hosted the second of two Vision-to-Action (V2A) workshops on February 16, 2017 to inspire the future redevelopment on the former Hegewald Veneer Mill Site, and the adjacent Rock Cove.

The Center for Creative Land Recycling (CCLR) has been awarded a grant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide technical assistance to brownfields-impacted communities.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: 2/22/17 2/16/2017

In the first workshop of its kind, CCLR partnered with Winefield & Associates and Assemblymember Mike Gipson (AD64) to bring real estate professionals and city leaders together together at CSU Dominguez Hills.  This half day workshop was spent exchanging ideas and showcasing redevelopment projects in the greater Los Angeles area. 

The EPA is announcing $1 million in a grant to provide support state implementation support related to CERCLA 128(a). The EPA anticipates award of one cooperative agreement to support state implementation for CERCLA 128(a) and other brownfields related issues. The maximum amount for the cooperative agreement is $1,000,000. The proposal deadline is January 31, 2017. 

EPA is offering a year-long webinar series to provide professionals with tools to optimize their work and create sustainable outcomes. In this session you will hear examples of how an organization’s culture can help drive sustainable outcomes.

This manual is an excellent resource for communities that want to consider climate change as they assess, clean up, or redevelop brownfield sites. It provides guidance on best practices for climate change mitigation, adaption, and resilience at all stages of brownfields work, from planning to redevelopment. In addition, the manual contains case studies and links to additional resources that communities can use as they develop brownfields project plans
