?? Important Update: 2025 NJ Brownfield Summit Postponed ?? The 2025 NJ Brownfield Summit, originally scheduled for February 5, 2025, has been postponed. As the assessment of recent Executive Orders and their impacts remains ongoing, we have decided to reschedule to ensure this event provides the most up-to-date guidance and resources for New Jersey municipalities and nonprofits. We are incredibly grateful for the understanding and support of our tremendous partners at NJ Governor’s Office of Climate Action and the Green Economy, New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), NJ Department of Environmental Protection, New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, as well as our colleagues at NJIT Hillier College of Architecture and Design who have played an essential role in shaping this event. We look forward to bringing them back for the rescheduled summit and continuing these important discussions. ??
