Resources for Revitalizing Flint Hills Communities

* Does your community or Main Street have an abandoned building (including hospitals and schools), old gas station, or other underutilized property (commonly known as a “brownfield”)?
* Are these properties negatively impacting your community image and impeding economic development, future growth and quality of life?
* Do you look at these properties and wonder how you might bring them back to productive use?

If you answered “YES!” to any of these questions, please join us for this workshop on

Presented by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), the Kansas State University Technical Assistance to Brownfields Program (KSU TAB), and Flint Hills Regional Council, this workshop will help you:

• Understand what a brownfield is and how redevelopment can kick-start community revitalization.
• Meet your brownfields partners at KDHE, U.S. EPA, and KSU TAB and hear about the free tools and resources they offer.
• Learn about additional technical assistance, site analysis, and planning services that can help you meet your brownfield site and community redevelopments goals.
• Hear from Kansas communities that have benefited from these and other resources.

Who should attend? Local government officials, key community stakeholders, economic and community development organizations, not-for-profit entities, community groups, private citizens, and others working to promote revitalization in Kansas communities.
