36th Environmental Permitting Summer School

Part 1: This panel will examine the current state of regulatory and financial incentives as well market dynamics, financing considerations, and other concerns that help private developers and local governments collaborate to overcome the risk, limit the liability, and manage the cleanup costs associated with taking title to and redeveloping contaminated sites.  Specific examples of successful and profitable projects and the community benefits they create will be discussed.

Part 2: A comprehensive discussion of applicable Florida and federal rules and best management practices will be presented by a leading panel of Florida experts who will also provide a replicable, scalable, and easy-to-follow path for private development principals, local government planners, lenders, and other brownfield stakeholders. In addition, this year we will discuss and debate the recently proposed Brownfields legislation on Agricultural lands that would affect how former agricultural land is redeveloped in Florida. This legislation has the potential to be a paradigm change in how will Florida manage its relentless growth and it is one of the hottest topics in Brownfields in Florida. After this class, attendees will be well-positioned for success.
