This 2025 National Brownfields Training Conference workshop will identify and describe various brownfield capital sources ranging from brownfield-specific funding to traditional redevelopment financing. Many brownfield projects require multiple capital sources to succeed; the more difficult the project, the more needed capital sources. A deeper dive will show how sources can integrate and be stacked, used sequentially for the various stages of redevelopment, and combined with private investment.
This workshop offers more than just a list of capital sources. Capital sources will be described and presented in a “generic” matrix showing the stack and sequence possibilities in the first half. Then, in the second half of the workshop, we’ll collectively work through Stack & Sequence project scenarios to demonstrate the wide range of possibilities for brownfield redevelopment funding/financing programs.
This SCS workshop accommodates individual sites and broad areas in urban and rural scenarios. Public agencies and non-profits will benefit by learning how to best promote redevelopment through utilizing multiple capital sources. Additionally, practitioners will gain insights, tools, and strategies for working with developers and investors and cultivating successful public-private partnerships that support communities’ neighborhood revitalization goals.
Eric Williams of SCS Engineers presents this Brownfields University pre-conference training event designed to provide a curriculum of core brownfields concepts and practices before the full educational program content. Eric will be providing his “Stack & Sequence – Strategically Using Multiple Sources of Brownfields Funding” training module, a popular session and the subject of multiple papers and presentations.
