Sustainable remediation and redevelopment of contaminated property continue to be overarching goals for public and private stakeholders working to ensure the reuse of these sites. One area gaining increased attention and interest by both the federal government and private parties is the use of brownfields and other contaminated properties for renewable energy projects, with an end goal of turning blighted sites to brightfields. Innovative financing strategies and tax incentives are proving to be valuable tools in this emerging and profitable market.

The integration of sustainable remediation with port infrastructure development is another emerging market in the industrial/commercial real estate arena. The redevelopment of these well-located properties stimulates economic recovery, supports infrastructure development, and facilitates trade. As such, property developers around the country are constructing shipping terminals on land types ranging from landfills to oil production sites.

Bloomberg BNA and RTM Communications invite you to join a distinguished panel to discuss these cutting-edge topics:

• Charlie Bartsch, EPA (Public-Private Partnerships)
• Pete Pedersen, Renova (Energy Development on Brownfields)
• Matthew Trammell, Environmental Consulting & Technology Inc. (Sustainable Remediation)
• Bill Harris, Keystone Properties (Port Development)
• Dean Jeffery Telego, RTM (Moderator)

The informative 90-minute presentation is designed to help you:

• Unlock real estate opportunities with renewable energy projects
• Gain insight about challenges and strategies for financing renewable energy projects and identify related tax incentives and credits
• Understand the new deal structures, partnerships, and markets for sustainable redevelopment at brownfield sites
