Hopportunity Knocks: Brownfields, Beer and the Law

Event Description

This event has reached maximum capacity and we are no longer accepting pre-registrations. You may register at the door for standing only option.

Deadline to Register: March 23, 2015

We are pleased to announce a special joint event sponsored by the MSBA section on Environmental, Natural Resource and Energy law and Minnesota Brownfields that will look at the intersection of two movements in Minnesota, the redevelopment of brownfield properties and the craft brewing boom. 

This program starts with a look at current challenges to brownfield redevelopment, including obtaining liability assurance letters, the real world impacts of the 2013 changes in the ASTM Phase I standard and continuing obligations for bona fide prospective purchasers.  We will then look at developing breweries on brownfields including funding stories from DEED, the Surly success and other case studies.

A special happy hour follows for attendees and ENRE section members.
