Ryan Whaley Coldiron Shandy

Ryan Whaley Coldiron Shandy is a Platinum Sponsor for this year’s Oklahoma Brownfields Conference.  The Conference is set to take place April 28-29, 2010 at the Historic Skirvin Hilton Hotel in Downtown Oklahoma City.  This is the second consecutive year that RWCS has sponsored the Conference. 

Brownfields are real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.  These often include abandoned or unused commercial and industrial facilities.  Redevelopment of Brownfields properties have become a focus for many municipalities, real estate developers and environmental groups due to their revitalization of blighted areas, reuse of strategically located property, and environmental protection.

The 2010 Oklahoma Brownfields Conference is expected to give participants the opportunity to explore the environmental, economical and social benefits of Brownfields redevelopment.  Key public and private sector leaders will present their experiences and share resources regarding, among other things, technical and regulatory considerations, financial incentives, liability protection, and economic development tools.
