On March 22, 2007, at 2 p.m. Eastern, the Disadvantaged Brownfields
Communities Network will host a 90-minute webcast, Building Strong
Communities: The Role of Community Development Corporations in
Brownfields Redevelopment <http://www.eventbuilder.com/encounter/DBCN>.
The webcast will highlight the unique role that CDCs have begun to play
in reclaiming environmentally-contaminated properties. Specifically, the
webcast will provide tools and information for CDCs to effectively
manage real estate transactions involving brownfields, including tips
for hiring consultants, managing legal liability, and seeking public and
private sector funding. The webcast will also showcase two CDCs that
have actively pursued brownfields redevelopment strategies. CDC experts
will provide lessons learned, best practices, and strategies for success.

Webcast speakers will include:

    * Ford Weber, Program Director, Virginia LISC, Richmond, VA
    * Jeanne DuBois, Executive Director, Dorchester Bay Economic
      Development Corporation, Dorchester, MA
    * Steven McCullough, President and CEO, New Bethel Life, Chicago, IL
    * Mary Nelson, President Emeritus, Bethel New Life, Chicago, IL

The webcast is FREE to the first 100 registrants, after which the cost
will be $40 per site. To register, visit

A webcast combines telephone and Internet technology to provide
participants with the opportunity to gain relevant, useful information
without travel, at low cost, and through a medium that encourages
collegial discussion of concerns and issues. Participants must have a
computer with Internet access (56K modem or higher) and a separate
telephone line for the audio portion of the webcast.



The Disadvantaged Brownfields Communities Network
<http://www.nemw.org/brownfields.htm#Disadvantaged> is managed by the
