All told there were more than 110 attendees of both workshops. We hope that you received information on tools and tips to help you succeed in obtaining grants for brownfields redevelopment and organizing brownfields teams in your local jurisdiction. The Brownfields Program would like to thank Bill McNeil of the NC Rural Center for his outstanding partnering efforts in the planning, organizing, and co-sponsoring of the workshops, and also to Mike Norman of the US EPA Region 4 for making two individual trips from Atlanta to make sure our local governments received the latest word from the U.S. EPA. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.ncbrownfields.org/August_2008_workshop_presentations.asp">Click here to view the Powerpoint presentations from each workshop</a><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NcBrownfieldsProgram-LatestNews/~4/vGhc_R1dPAw" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.ncbrownfields.org/default.asp#10042 ncbrownfields.org10042 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:00:00 GMT The U.S. EPA has recently posted revised proposal guidelines for its Brownfields Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund and Cleanup Grants.
