City of

Rome Brownfields

Goal of Community Outreach
Engaging the community in the Brownfield process is an important part of EPA and Rome's Brownfield goals.  The Brownfield program is not only to facilitate redevelopment, but to educate the community about Brownfields. 

Community Meetings
Rome envisions community meetings being held at local Rotary Clubs, Chamber of Commerce Meetings, or City Commision Caucuses throughout the Brownfield process.  If you have a group that is interested in Brownfields, please contact Eric Lindberg (elindberg@romega.us or 706-236-4674) or Joselyn Harriger (jharriger@harthickman.com or 704-586-0007) for more information.  Upcoming community meetings and previous meeting minutes will be posted here for those who couldn't make the meetings. 

Eric recently met with two of the local garden clubs and discussed the City's Brownfield Program.  If you would like someone to come discuss the Brownfield Program with your group, please contact Eric or Joselyn with the information above.

Newsletters
Rome will be mailing out occassional newsletters to community members, property owners of brownfield sites, and other interested parties such as local real estate agents and developers.  These newsletters will also be posted right here, on the Brownfield website.
