Many, if not all, communities have properties sitting vacant due to a history (or perceived risk) of contamination. These “brownfield” sites can be excellent candidates for solar development, but they can also present unique challenges. Join us on Wednesday, March 19th, from 4-5 p.m. ET for Siting Solar on Brownfields and Underutilized Lands. Hosted by the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and the American Planning Association (APA) Solar@Scale team, this webinar explores how brownfields and underutilized lands can be good options for solar developments that create economic value and benefit the surrounding community. This webinar will feature a background on the challenges and opportunities these lands present, share landowner and solar developer perspectives, and provide guidance on how to get started.
