27 Brownfields Grant Opportunities Workshops Recap

Thanks to all the speakers and attendees of the Brownfields Grant Workshops sponsored by the Brownfields Program, the NC Rural Center, and the U.S. EPA for helping to make these events such a success. All told there were more than 110 attendees of both workshops. We hope that you received information on tools and tips to help you succeed in obtaining grants for brownfields redevelopment and organizing brownfields teams in your local jurisdiction. The Brownfields Program would like to thank Bill McNeil of the NC Rural Center for his outstanding partnering efforts in the planning, organizing, and co-sponsoring of the workshops, and also to Mike Norman of the US EPA Region 4 for making two individual trips from Atlanta to make sure our local governments received the latest word from the U.S. EPA.
