(In-Person) Join us for a free one-day brownfield grant workshop to learn how to utilize services offered by federal and state brownfield programs. As a result of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), there is a historic level of funding available to address brownfield properties and we want that funding in the hands of Kentucky communities! This workshop will focus on how brownfield programs can support your community's redevelopment efforts, a review of best practices for federal grants, and a deep-dive into the FY25 brownfield grant offerings and application guidance.
