Brownfields 2009 Conference

…in New Orleans November 16-18. Brownfields are rural or urban industrial sites that are abandoned or underused because of real or perceived contamination.  Through redevelopment and reuse these sites can be returned to productive properties in the community.  While the Brownfields conference focuses on cleaning up and redeveloping these properties, it addresses a broad range of related topics–including green development–through more than 150 educational sessions.  Additionally, its transaction forum puts deal-ready properties together with financing sources and developers to create an opportunity for real deals to be made.  Whether you are a newcomer to the world of economic and environmental redevelopment, or a seasoned professional looking to make new connections and increase your business, Brownfields 2009 offers something for you.  Registration is free.
