The newly created Brownfield Remediation Program is an exciting investment in Ohio’s future. This program is sure to sharpen the skills and expertise of local leaders.  This panel is for those interested in learning about Ohio’s other brownfields funding and financing opportunities, which can complement or enhance the Brownfield Remediation Program.

Ohio's newly created Brownfield Remediation Fund holds great possibilities for local communities. However, local government staff and elected officials may be unsure how to begin preparing to apply for and utilize BRF funds. This webinar will provide attendees with an overview of what it takes to see a brownfield project through from start to finish. Panelists will explain what due diligence local leaders should do on a potential site, what expertise a community might want to assemble to ensure a successful and cost-efficient remediation project, and what to expect each step of the project.
