The Northeast Waste Management Officials’ Association (NEWMOA) has partnered with the brownfields programs in the New England states and tribes and the University of Connecticut Technical Assistance to Brownfields (UConn TAB) program to organize another two-day Summit to advance understanding of state and federal brownfield programs and opportunities. The goals of the Summit are to:

• Promote best practice and lessons learned across states and tribes
• Provide an opportunity to increase networking and information-sharing among key stakeholders

The two-day Summit will include plenary and break-out sessions and an exhibit area. There will be ample time during the breaks for networking and viewing the exhibits. If funding is available, there will be a reception in the evening of the first day.

Organizers expect approximately 300 people to attend, including representatives from:

• State, tribal, and federal government brownfields and waste site cleanup programs
• Local, regional, and state economic development agencies
• Real estate developers, financial institutions, and law firms
• Planning and economic development consulting firms
• Local governments
• Interested citizens & groups
• Job training grantees
