Each election cycle, GOPC prepares questions supporters and advocates can address to candidates about issues central of our goal of a revitalized Ohio.
The success of Grandview Yard demonstrates why Ohio’s current Brownfield Remediation Program matters. Since 2021, the state has committed $900 million to brownfield assessment and cleanup across Ohio.
This paper highlights how the state's nearly one-billion dollar investment in remediating environmentally contaminated site has economic and community benefits at each stage of the process - from assessing and cleaning up sites, to preparation and planning, and into redevelopment.
This will be GOPC's fifth year hosting the state brownfields conference after GOPC launched the Revitalizing Ohio's Brownfields Initiative in Summer 2021 to serve as a resource following the state's investment in brownfields grants.
The 2026 Ohio Brownfields Conference provided thoughtfully designed networking and educational opportunities, featuring 12 panels with topics as diverse as rural development, unlocking opportunities for housing and mixed-use development, and brightfield development opportunities
Earth Day is not just about protecting existing greenspaces and water, but improving the Earth for the future. GOPC’s long standing advocacy for tools that remove, mitigate, and/or manage sites with contaminants is the epitome of celebrating, improving, and protecting the environment.
