Washington Brownfield Workshops Recap

The week of September 9th, CCLR and the Washington Department of Ecology held three brownfield workshops in Richland, North Bend and Bremerton Washington. CCLR consultants Joelle Greenland and Antonia Bassett supported the workshops, which were designed to assist cities with populations below 75,000 with brownfield reuse.

The packed workshops were followed by local walking tours of brownfield success stories, one of which included a beautiful ferry ride from the Port of Bremerton to the City of Port Orchard. Not only did these workshops share insightful brownfield information, they were an amazing opportunity to create connections to further local redevelopment projects! Thank you to the speakers, mayors of Bremerton and North Bend for their appearances, and to everyone who attended a Washington workshop!

Help CCLR and WRT Develop Park Funding Framework Guide

Building parks is a vital investment in our collective well-being, but 100 million people in the USA, including 28 million children, don’t have a park within a 10-minute walk from home. To help address this disparity, CCLR and WRT have partnered to create a funding resource aimed at helping resource-limited and overburdened communities build capacity, gain knowledge, and eventually develop parks. As a key player in the redevelopment field, your input on this survey will be instrumental in shaping a more relevant and supportive resource. We thank you for your support.
