|  Big Apple Brownfield Workshop: Green Remediation & Sustainability December 17, 2009
The Mayor's Office of Environmental Remediation (MOER) held its "Big Apple Brownfield Workshop: Green Remediation & Sustainability" on December 17, 2009 at the The Graduate Center at the City University of New York. This workshop was the third in a series of educational events created by MOER to encourage brownfield redevelopment in New York City. The workshop highlighted how brownfield cleanups are going green and how future cleanups will continue to become even more sustainable. The program included presentations about on-going efforts at the national and local levels, practical illustrations of green practices implemented on a project-specific basis, and innovative strategies that incorporate brownfields into larger sustainability efforts. Highlights of the event will soon be posted.
