The Council of Development Finance Agencies (CDFA) is hosting a new  Brownfields Financing Webinar Series as part of the CDFA Brownfields Technical Assistance Program.

Brownfields redevelopment financing solutions are increasingly sought across the country in order to restore contaminated sites and/or to return abandoned industrial land to productive use. The cleanup and redevelopment of brownfield sites can advance a region’s economy, restore the local environment, and ultimately lead to permanent job creation and greater attraction of external capital to the community.

 
First Webinar
February 19 @ 2 PM
This debut webinar will highlight communities that have successfully employed the development finance toolbox to transform former brownfield sites into economic assets. Join CDFA to discover how tools such as tax increment finance, loan funds and tax credits can bring your brownfield redevelopment projects to life!
 
Additional webinars in the series will be held June 4 & August 13.
