Colorado Brownfields Conference: Sustainable Land Use Solutions
Littleton, CO (October 27, 2008) – The Colorado Brownfields Conference: Resources for the Future is a unique opportunity that brings together the many interests of a diverse group which includes all stakeholders, from property owners to developers, concerned citizens, Local, State, and Federal agency representatives, land planners, regulatory experts, community leaders, legal experts, financial and insurance industry representatives, and environmental specialists who are involved in redevelopment of Brownfields.
The Colorado Brownfields Conference 2008: Resources for the Future is presented by U.S. EPA, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and Colorado Brownfields Foundation. More than 15 other organizations have endorsed the event.
Over 240 people are expected to attend the sixth annual Colorado Brownfields Conference 2008: Resource for the Future on November 20-21, 2008, at The Red Lion Hotel in Aurora, Colorado.
The annual one and a half day interdisciplinary conference will focus on integrating site redevelopment approaches into practical, profitable, and sustainable land use solutions.
The conference will feature sessions on green development, remediation, risk management, real estate, and much more. Exhibitors will display the latest technologies and services. Numerous networking events are also on the agenda.
Addressing brownfields - abandoned or underutilized properties stigmatized by past commercial or industrial uses - is an ongoing challenge for communities of every size. By focusing on redevelopment, properties are put back into productive use for communities while helping to keep undeveloped lands in a natural state.
Colorado Brownfields Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Colorado nonprofit organization dedicated to removing environmental obstacles to economic and community development. CBF partners with communities, local governments, other non profits, and commercial enterprises to help reuse and redevelop brownfields sites.
