This conference brings together the diverse parties that need to work in concert to transform contaminated properties into economic success stories – with an agenda that emphasizes the manner in which multiple disciplines need to be integrated into a project from start to finish.
The theme of “Building Sustainable Communities” responds to the growing interest by communities to rethink development models in ways that reflect sustainability principles and reduce their carbon footprints. This creates a new context for developers and increases the importance of public/private partnerships. At the same time, the conference explores how these goals must align with the economic realities of the property development marketplace.
Session offerings are provided for both experienced professionals and newcomers to the concept. Topics include:
• The financial side of sustainable development
• Identifying redevelopment opportunities
• Assessing a project’s potential
• Basics of the redevelopment transaction
• Negotiating the deal |
• Managing the project
• Aggregating small sites
• Contamination-based site planning
• Update on regulatory issues • Green remediation & development |

• Gain an up-to-date perspective on brownfields redevelopment opportunities.
