At the
BAD Buildings Summit, attendees learn how to rehabilitate Brownfields,
Abandoned, and Dilapidated (BAD) Buildings in their community by networking
with other leaders across the state dealing with the same challenges. Participants see
presentations by resource providers, practitioners, and technical experts on
topics including demolition, codes & ordinances, funding, resources, engaging
stakeholders, and sustainable reuse options for vacant properties.
At the 2018 Summit, two tracts were available to participants: Standard Sessions and Specialized Sessions. Standard Sessions covered the more basic of topics such as How to Build a BAD Buildings Team and How to Inventory Properties. The Specialized Sessions covered certain topics intensively such as site redevelopment or creative problem solving beyond program basics.
The Summit was held on
Tuesday, November 14 at the Erickson Alumni Center
(1 Alumni Drive) in Morgantown, WV.
