Reminder: Register To Attend Free Learning Session On Brownfield Redevelopment Assistance
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will host learning sessions for local governments on the redevelopment of underused and abandoned properties, otherwise known as brownfields, on Sept. 10 in Stevens Point, Oct. 7 in Ashland, Oct. 8 in Eau Claire and Oct. 28 in Fond du Lac. The sessions are free to attend and the same content will be covered in each location.
A brownfield is a property where real or perceived contamination complicates expansion, redevelopment or reuse. Brownfields may be found in many locations throughout the state and vary in size, age and past use.
After attending, participants will:
-
Know what a brownfield property is
-
Be able to identify redevelopment opportunities in their community
-
Know about assistance available to local governments
-
Learn about relevant liability protections and exemptions for local governments
-
Hear about successful examples of redevelopment from other communities
Local government officials are encouraged to attend to learn how redevelopment efforts can turn previously developed properties into community assets.
