2026 Nevada Brownfields Conference

The 2026 Nevada Brownfields Conference, hosted by the Center for Creative Land Recycling (CCLR), U.S. EPA Region 9, and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP), is a two-day event focused on tools, resources, and funding pathways for brownfields redevelopment. The conference aims to transform vacant, contaminated, and underutilized land into community assets. Day one covers brownfields basics, including identification, funding, and managing local, state, and federal requirements, followed by a mobile tour of cleanup sites, success stories, and opportunity areas to see redevelopment in action. Day two features interactive, facilitator-led labs where participants can apply tools and frameworks to their own sites or provided examples, aiming to leave with tangible next steps or draft materials to advance their brownfield projects. Attendees can expect in-depth sessions, case studies from local practitioners, networking opportunities, and a social event.
