If you’ve got a contaminated property available, here’s a great opportunity to get it seen by developers. On February 12, 2008, the International Council of Shopping Centers, in partnership with EPA’s Brownfields Program and other partners including the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Departments of Environmental Protection, will hold a conference on brownfields redevelopment along with a property transaction forum in Philadelphia. The conference is open to all, and is expected to draw retail developers from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic areas with a focus on the greater New York and Philadelphia metro areas.

The ICSC is the global trade association of the shopping center industry. Its 70,000 members in the U.S., Canada and more than 80 other countries include shopping center owners, developers, managers, marketing specialists, investors, lenders, retailers and other professionals.

The conference will be held at the Philadelphia Marriott on Market Street. The morning will feature educational sessions on contaminated property redevelopment including financing, the regulatory environment, obstacles and incentives. The afternoon property transaction forum will give property owners, redevelopment agencies, and communities an opportunity to market their contaminated properties to the retail industry.

Don’t miss this exciting dealmaking event designed to promote the redevelopment of abandoned, underutilized, or contaminated properties. If your community has any kind of contaminated properties (e.g. brownfields, superfund, abandoned gas stations, RCRA, FUDS etc) and you are looking for retail reuse options and a superb networking opportunity, this is the event for you.

EPA does not receive any of the fees, nor does EPA endorse the services or products offered by property developers or commercial service vendors who participate in the forum.
