The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering a free webinar titled “Equitable Development: The Role of Brownfields Renewal, Community Land Trusts and Employee-Owned Businesses in Neighborhood Stability” on October 14, 2015 from 2:00PM – 3:00PM EDT.
The foundation for creating strong, economically resilient and liveable communities is increasingly built upon a spectrum of place-based activities that develop improved tools and strategies.
This workshop is designed to give participants practical tools and share insider views about pioneering community building models. The webinar topic is community driven equitable development strategies focusing upon two models: (1) Employee-owned company(s) that creates jobs and career pathways for local residents; and (2) Community land trust that provides permanently affordable housing programs for local residents.
