Bankers and property development professionals can take a crash course in brownfield redevelopment through a workshop sponsored by the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection and the Louisville Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
The workshop will be conducted 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday, February 24, 2016, at the Louisville Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank. Attendees will get a better understanding of brownfields, properties that are abandoned or underutilized due to real or perceived environmental contamination, and the issues surrounding contaminated property redevelopment.
Agenda topics to be covered include:
Federal environmental liability and exemptions for lenders and bona fide prospective purchasers
Kentucky’s new brownfield law that reduces uncertainty in the redevelopment process
Incentives that are available to assist in brownfield redevelopment
A case study of how a community eyesore has been transformed into a thriving business and asset to the neighborhood.
Participation in this event is free; however, registration is required by Friday, February 19, as space is limited. Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. For more information, please contact Faith Weekly at 502-568-9216 or email faith.e.weekly@stls.frb.org.
