Brownfield projects can take a long time and run into multiple barriers – not just questions of environmental contamination. For project champions and community leaders, it can feel like they are working alone, without much support, or like no one else has ever encountered the same issues before. Bring Your Own Brownfield (BYOB) is designed to connect project champions with experts in the field as well as peer project leaders to discuss their projects, identify potential resources or next steps, and build community across geographies. In this virtual session, Mid-Atlantic TAB will facilitate up to four brownfield champions to share background and questions on their projects with a panel of seasoned redevelopment professionals from a variety of fields. Panelists will provide input and recommendations for paths forward to resolve barriers impeding progress, including environmental concerns, attracting investors, pursuing funding, reuse of infrastructure, and community involvement. Audience members will contribute their questions and recommendations to project presenters and have the opportunity to ask questions of the panel to take home to their brownfield project.
