Communities can learn about brownfield properties and how to successfully redevelop them—including securing funding and technical assistance from local, state and federal help—through workshops and other resources through the Technical Assistance to Brownfields Program at www.ksutab.org.
Brownfields are properties where reuse or redevelopment is complicated by environmental contamination. These properties are often abandoned, idled or under-used. Putting brownfield sites back into use revitalizes communities creating jobs and spurring economic development.
