Brownfield Basics
2019-09-18 09:00 - 12:30 | ESWP, 337 Fourth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, United States
Please join us to learn the basics of brownfields. A brownfield is a real property whose use or reuse may be complicated by a presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant. Many former industrial and commercial activities may indeed be brownfields. Pennsylvania’s voluntary cleanup program, known as Act 2, presents a clear path to address brownfields in the commonwealth and bring these properties back to productive use in your community.
In this session you will hear from experts in the field from the following:

US Environmental Protection Agency
PA Department of Environmental Protection
PA Department of Community and Economic Development
New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Technical Assistance to Brownfield Communities Program (NJIT TAB), as well as,
a local partner to bring you some real-world examples of projects that have gone through the process.

So, whether you are a seasoned veteran of brownfields or new to the concept, you are invited to acquire the knowledge and contacts to help you navigate through the processes of obtaining funding and understand the procedures of the Act 2 Program.

THE COST: FREE – Register Below

The 2018-2019 Future City Competition Theme is – Powering the Future!
Future City starts with a question—how can we make the world a better place? To answer it, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students imagine, research, design, and build cities of the future that showcase their solution to a citywide sustainability issue. Each city must incorporate a solution to a design challenge that changes each year. Past topics include stormwater management, urban agriculture, and green energy. The 2018-2019 challenge will be announced in July.
Students present their solutions via a virtual city design (using SimCity); a 1,500-word city essay; a scale model; a project plan, and a presentation to judges at Regional Competitions in January. Winners will represent Pittsburgh at the National Finals in Washington, DC in February. After the competition is over, student participants are not only prepared to be citizens of today’s complex and technical world, they are poised to become the drivers of tomorrow. To learn more about the Future City Competition visit – https://futurecity.org/pennsylvania-pittsburgh
