Gowanus Community Forum: Environmental Clean-up, Brownfields, & Air Quality Monitoring

View this email in your browser ([link removed])
Dear Neighbors & Friends,

I am writing to remind you about tomorrow's Community Forum on the Gowanus Brownfields Program. This forum is a chance for you to learn about the state's role in the Gowanus environmental clean-up and air quality monitoring, and to ask questions. You will hear from representatives of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and the NYS Health Department. The US Environmental Protection Agency will also be on hand to answer questions.
New York’s Brownfield Cleanup Program was created to encourage private-sector cleanups of brownfields so as to promote their redevelopment as a means to revitalize economically blighted communities. Brownfield sites are land where contaminant(s) are present at levels exceeding the soil cleanup objectives or other health-based or environmental standards, criteria or guidance adopted by the State and anticipated by the expected use of the property.

The event will take place on Thursday, January 25th, from 6-8pm, at the Wyckoff Gardens Community Center, 280 Wyckoff Street. RSVP here ([link removed]) . I look forward to seeing you there!

Sincerely,

Jo Anne Simon
