​​Maryland’s 2nd Statewide Brownfield Conference

​​​Brownfields: A Walk in the Park for All

​​​​


​The 2nd Maryland Statewide Brownfield Conference was held on November 16, 2022 via GoToWebinar. Attendees also had the option for an in-person component on November 16 and 17 with meet-up group brownfield tours organized in Cambridge and Cumberland, followed by networking events at social venues near the brownfield sites. The virtual conference also offered an opportunity to connect with other attendees in the morning with a mindfulness exercise. We'd like to extend a sincere thank you to all of our presenters, meet-up group tour hosts, our Advisory Committee, and our partners at the Maryland Department of the Environment—who all helped make the conference a success.
