Cleaning up & redeveloping Brownfields facilitates job growth, increases local tax bases, utilizes existing infrastructure, and improves the environment – a win, win, win, win! To advance understanding of states and federal Brownfield programs and opportunities, the Northeast Waste Management Officials’ Association (NEWMOA), the Technical Assistance to Brownfield Communities (TAB) program at the University of Connecticut (UConn), & state & federal partners are organizing a regional Summit.

The goals of the Summit are to:

• Share information about the financial incentives, liability protections, & technical & other assistance available for brownfields development from federal & state governments
• Promote best practice & lessons learned across states
• Provide an opportunity to increase networking & information-sharing among key stakeholders
