Join us to learn how PCEDC's EPA Brownfields Program can reduce risk, unlock funding, and turn challenging properties into community and economic opportunities.

Whether you're a realtor navigating property transactions, a town manager or municipal officer planning for redevelopment, a banker evaluating project risk, or a community member interested in revitalization, understanding brownfields is a powerful tool.

This session will break down what a brownfield is (and isn’t), how the program works, what funding and technical assistance are available, and how participation can protect buyers, sellers, lenders, and municipalities. We’ll share real-world examples and explain how environmental assessments and cleanup funding can help move stalled or uncertain properties toward productive reuse.

If you work with properties that may have environmental history—or simply want to better understand the resources available in our region—this conversation is for you.

We hope you’ll join us to explore how brownfields redevelopment can support your projects and strengthen our communities.
