New York City Brownfield Partnership

?? Do not miss out!! ???? Join us on Tuesday, October 29, 2024?at 5:30pm at the New York City Bar Association for our upcoming event "Economic and Environmental Impacts of State and City Funded Remediation Programs on Environmental Justice Communities in NYC." We have a remarkable panel who will be discussing the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC)'s Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) and the New York City's Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP). These programs encourage private-sector cleanups of contaminated sites and promote the redevelopment of the sites through economic incentives. The panel will discuss the potential impact these programs may have on environmental justice communities in New York City and also look at various case studies across New York City and their differing perspectives on the topic. We are honored to have Professor Rebecca Bratspies, Professor Melissa Checker, Professor Barry Hersh, and George Duke, Partner at Connell Foley LLP, as expert panelists and Heather Leibowitz, Esq. Senior Attorney at NYSDEC Region 2, as our moderator! This event would not be possible without the dedication and collaboration of the Remediation Subcommittee and the Environmental Justice/Environmental Rights Subcommittee at the NYCBA and the invaluable contributions by the members of our Subcommittees. Thank you to our sponsoring Environmental Law Committee at the NYCBA and our Co-Chairs, Jullee Kim and John Rousakis as well as our Co-Sponsoring Organization, the New York City Brownfield Partnership. We look forward to an engaging and thought-provoking session in a couple of weeks! This is an in person event and registration is required. Link to the registration page in the comments ????
