ABOUT THE SERIES
This monthly webinar series focuses on Brownfield redevelopment and downtown revitalization in Kentucky. The series features a variety of presentations and panels intended to help communities learn about the resources available for brownfield redevelopment and downtown revitalization more broadly. The webinars are intended to connect underserved communities throughout the commonwealth with redevelopment resources, technical assistance, new funding opportunities and inspirational stories of successful brownfield redevelopment efforts in Kentucky.
This series is one of many new opportunities planned as part of a partnership between the University of Kentucky’s Community and Economic Development Initiative of Kentucky (CEDIK) and the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet’s (EEC) Department of Environmental Protection Brownfield Program.
