(11/12/2002) EPA Administrator Christie Whitman will be in Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday to address the “Brownfields 2002– Investing in the Future” Conference and announce a new federal partnership action plan. The program, held in the Charlotte Convention Center, will include more than 75 different technical sessions and workshops, over 40 roundtable discussions, an extensive exhibit hall and presentations of the Phoenix Awards, which were created in 1997 to recognize highly innovative yet practical remediation projects which bring Brownfields sites back to productive use. Since taking office, President Bush has made reclaiming brownfields a key environmental priority, signing new legislation earlier this year to improve Brownfields efforts around the country and requesting in his FY2003 a more than doubling of Brownfields funding to $200 million.
