grants. If you are new to the brownfield world, you will learn about free services and resources that are available to get
you started. If you already have a project or are considering a project in your locale, you will learn what expertise and
capacity is needed to both write and manage state and federal brownfield grants that provide funding for environmental
assessment and cleanup.

not written and/or managed a state or federal brownfield grants but have brownfield sites and revitalization needs in
their community that could benefit from a state or federal grant
Does your community have old gas stations, unused buildings, or other potentially contaminated properties impeding future economic growth? Are you concerned these sites may be negatively impacting health and the quality of life in your neighborhoods? Do you look at these properties and wonder how you might bring them back to productive use?
You are invited to attend a free brownfields workshop on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, hosted by the Tonkawa Development Authority, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s Brownfield Program, and the Kansas State University - Technical Assistance to Brownfields Program (KSU TAB). Workshop participants will learn about:
• What a brownfield is (and is not);
• OCC resources for assessment and cleanup of former service stations;
• Other local, state, and federal resources available to address brownfields; and
• How to include brownfields redevelopment in community revitalization.
Who should attend? Local and regional government officials, economic and community development organizations, lenders and real-estate professionals, property owners, and anyone interested in learning about brownfields and financial resources for local redevelopment.
