Sustainable remediation and redevelopment of contaminated property continue to be an overarching goal for public and private stakeholders working to ensure the reuse of these sites. One area gaining increased attention and interest by both the federal government and private parties is the use of brownfields and other contaminated properties for renewable energy projects, with an end goal of turning blighted sites to brightfields. Innovative financing strategies and tax incentives are proving to be valuable tools in this emerging and profitable market.

The integration of sustainable remediation with port infrastructure development is another emerging market in the industrial/commercial real estate arena. The redevelopment of these well-located properties stimulates economic recovery, supports infrastructure development, and facilitates trade. As such, property developers around the country are constructing shipping terminals on land types ranging from landfills to oil production.

* Charlie Bartsch, EPA (Public-Private Partnerships)

* Pete Pedersen, Renova (Energy Development on Brownfields)

* Matthew Trammell, Environmental Consulting & Technology, Inc. (Sustainable Remediation)

* Bill Harris, Keystone Properties, LLC (Port Developer)

* Dean Jeffery Telego, RTM (Moderator)

The informative 90-minute presentation is designed to help you in five ways:

Unlock real estate opportunities with renewable energy projects
