Brownfields program is set for April 17

A Kansas Department of Health and Environment Kansas Brownfields Program workshop will be from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. April 17 at the Bicentennial Center, KDHE announced through a press release.

Brownfields are properties whose expansion, redevelopment or reuse might be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant or other contaminant, KDHE said. By investigating and cleaning up a brownfields site, communities can use local land again for productive purposes.

The workshops will cover funding opportunities for brownfields projects.
