 | | EPA Acting Administrator Marianne Lamont Horinko, attending the "Brownfields 2003 - Growing a Greener America" Conference in Portland, Ore., presented a total of $400,000 to the communities of Allegan, Mich.; Toledo, Ohio; Lancaster County, Pa.; Emeryville, Calif.; and the Downriver Community Conference, Southgate, Mich., to incorporate smart growth into their planning, revitalization, and redevelopment efforts. |
 | | These communities, selected from 35 applicants, were chosen because their proposed projects will: result in smart growth redevelopment; link Brownfields redevelopment to open space preservation; and improve redevelopment of specific Brownfields sites through the application of smart growth principles. |
 | | The program includes more than 130 different technical sessions and workshops, over 50 roundtable discussions, an extensive exhibit hall and presentations of the Phoenix Awards, which were created in 1997 to recognize highly innovative yet practical remediation projects which bring Brownfield sites back to productive use. |
