In coordination with the National Association of Development Organizations, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will participate in a two-day public workshop from this Thursday to Friday at the Northern Arizona campus in Flagstaff, Ariz.

The EPA hopes to educate cities, towns, redevelopment agencies and community members along the Route 66 corridor and northeastern Arizona on how to reuse and redevelop brownfields, abandoned or unused industrial sites with environmental contamination.

Nationally renowned and local speakers on Brownfields redevelopment will discuss how to identify, assess, fund, clean up and redevelop key Brownfields sites that will support community development goals.

The workshop is sponsored by the city of Flagstaff, Northern Arizona Council of Governments, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, National Association of Development Organizations Research Foundation, and EPA.
