Recycling abandoned and under-utilized properties requires knowledge and skills to manage a variety of issues.

The Brownfield 101 Workshop is a practical and interactive workshop that provides brownfield project managers with the tools, techniques, and resources required to move projects forward. Where does the money come from? How much do you need and when? What are the environmental regulations, and how does that work with the planning process? How do I work with a developer? A multi-disciplinary team of expert practitioners will guide workshop participants through the regulatory, funding and financing, planning, and development framework for dealing with brownfields in Oregon. The workshop culminates in an interactive activity (or case study) that realistically illustrates potential project outcomes and involves participants in employing their new skills in a real case study.

This is a chance to spend time with experts in brownfields redevelopment. Come learn from those who have “been there, done that,” and are willing to share their knowledge and experience to help others follow in their footsteps.

Curriculum Will Cover:

Regulatory and Legal Framework, Environmental Site Assessments and Cleanup Financial Resources, Planning, Economic and Market Forces, The Redevelopment Process and a Case Study.
