Join the National Brownfields Coalition for a webinar on September 30 at 2 p.m. ET for a conversation on how to build and maintain partnerships to advance brownfield remediation and support equitable community development.

Brownfields are more than vacant lots or abandoned industrial sites—they represent untapped potential for housing, green space, jobs, and economic development. Yet redeveloping these sites requires overcoming environmental, financial, and social challenges that no single sector can solve alone. Partnerships are key to ensuring cleanup efforts not only restore land but also deliver long-term benefits for communities, especially those historically overburdened by pollution and disinvestment.

During this session, hear case studies from Christa Stoneham, Chief Executive Officer at Houston Land Bank, Chris Gdak, Brownfields & Community Revitalization Practice Leader with, Montrose Environmental Group, and Matthew Popkin, founder of the Brightfields Accelerator Program at RMI. Together, they’ll share strategies for strengthening cross-sector collaboration and explore new approaches to equitable redevelopment.

The National Brownfields Coalition is a non-partisan alliance of practitioners dedicated to ensuring that all brownfields are responsibly cleaned up and redeveloped to support the health, prosperity, and resilience of communities nationwide.
