Brownfields Showcase
The word "marketplace" conjures images of bright
colors, activity, and appealing sights, sounds, and smells. There
isn’t a whole lot of any of this going on in the properties the New
Jersey League of Municipalities is getting set to showcase — but
there is an opportunity for profit.
On Thursday, October 10, at 8 a.m. the League of Municipalities holds
its second annual "Brownfields Marketplace: A Conference and
Showcase
for New Jersey Properties" at the Sheraton Woodbridge Plaza. Cost:
$65. Call 609-695-3481.
"It’s an event to get the public and private sectors together
to get these sites cleaned up," says
of seminars and programs. Towns are encouraged to attend with lists
of brownfields sites within their borders. "We had 30 or 40 towns
last year," says Harkness, "and 250 to 300 attendees."
In addition to networking to bring developers, bankers, and
municipalities
together, the event, with a trade show running until 4 p.m., features
a number of seminars, many in the form of case studies. Among the
case studies is a "Residential Lessons Learned," a look at
a project that turned a former factory site into single family houses
in Hanover Township. Other case studies look at mixed use development
on Newark’s waterfront and senior housing in Union Township.
During two property showcase sessions, one at 10 a.m. and one at 12:15
p.m., municipalities highlight their development visions.
Panelists include
Site Remediation Program;
NJ Economic Development Authority;
coordinator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; and
Petrizzo,
brownfields program director, the Whitman Companies.
