Jennifer Price, OEDA President & CEO, was excited to represent OEDA on the conference planning committee given the importance of remediating and redeveloping brownfields.

“Brownfields remain a top issue in economic development and OEDA has been a vocal advocate for funding and technical assistance to clean up these sites,” Price said. “The value of developable sites is obvious.  But brownfield clean up is also critical to revitalizing neighborhoods and communities that have faced decades of disinvestment.”
