Hello, Community Leaders, Planners, and Economic Development Stakeholders!
Does your community have unused buildings, old gas stations, or other potentially contaminated properties impeding future economic growth?

Do you look at these properties and wonder how you might bring them back to productive use?

• What a brownfield is (and is not);

• How to include brownfields redevelopment in community revitalization; and,
• Local redevelopment case studies.
Who should attend? Local and regional government officials, economic and community development organizations, lenders and real-estate professionals, non-profits, property owners, and anyone interested in learning about brownfields and financial resources for local redevelopment.

The Technical Assistance to Brownfields Program (TAB) at Kansas State University, the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE), and the Neligh Economic Development Office invite you to attend this free brownfield workshop.
Does your community have an abandoned building, gas station, or other potentially contaminated property, commonly referred to as a 'brownfield', that is negatively impacting your community image and economic development? Do you look at these sites and wonder where funding could come from to help turn them into new businesses or community assets? This workshop will focus on valuable state and federal resources available to assist with redevelopment of brownfields sites to bring them back to beneficial use.
Your Sites – Our Solutions: Pre-registered communities will have the opportunity to share site information with a panel of experts in an open forum. The panel will provide feedback on how to address site-specific issues and develop a comprehensive strategy for redevelopment tailored to your community’s needs. Following the panel response, all workshop attendees will have an opportunity to provide additional feedback through an open question and answer period. You may be your neighbor’s inspiration!
Do you have a redevelopment project in mind and need advice on "Where do we go from here?" Simply complete the redevelopment questionnaire as completely as possible and follow instructions on the form to submit. If any of the information is not known or is unavailable, state so. The information provided will be used to brief our panel on your site-specific issues.
Who should attend? Local and regional government officials, economic and community development organizations, lenders and real-estate professionals, property owners, and anyone interested in learning about brownfields and financial resources for local redevelopment.
