FREE Brownfields Grant Workshops Next Week!

Dear Colleagues, Community Leaders, Planners, and Consultants!

 

This is a quick to reminder for you to register for one of the upcoming free brownfield* grant workshops in Oklahoma next week. Participation is FREE, but registration is required. (* Brownfields are abandoned or underutilized industrial and commercial facilities available for reuse; reuse is often complicated by the need to perform environmental reclamation activities.)

EPA brownfield grants are available to cities, counties, local government entities, and Indian tribes, in order to help facilitate environmental planning, assessment, and cleanup activities at brownfield sites that communities seek to acquire, redevelop and reinvigorate through enhanced economic development, the creation of greenspace, or public use of direct value to residents. These workshops are designed to help communities learn about Brownfields properties and how to fund successful redevelopments through different available resources.

There is also an attached campus PDF Map of the OSU campus which has Ag Hall within an orange box. Ag Hall sits on the corner of Monroe and Farm Road.  Farm Road is literally torn up right now, so you can access Ag Hall from the drive into the parking lot on the East side of the building and park in any place that you see.  We will be in Room 408 on the East side of the building.
