The Greater Ohio Policy Center (GOPC), in partnership with the Ohio EPA, is excited to announce it will host the 2025 Ohio Brownfields Conference on Thursday, May 8th, 2025. For additional details and to sign-up to receive conference updates, please visit OhioBrownfields.com.

Please note, the 2025 Ohio Brownfields Conference will be in a larger venue, as last year, we saw a 51% increase in attendance! The spring conference will be at the Quest Conference Center in Westerville, Ohio (near Polaris, off I-71). Quest Conference Center will provide the 2025 Ohio Brownfields Conference with a full floor, including ample space for educational sessions, networking, and exhibitor space.

This will be GOPC's third 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. GOPC's advocacy efforts, coupled with requests from local communities and the private sector, has secured $700 million in brownfield grant funding through the Brownfield Remediation Program (BRP) in the past two state operating budgets. GOPC is continuing advocacy for additional funding in the upcoming state operating budget.

The 2025 Ohio Brownfields Conference will be an opportunity for GOPC to update brownfields professionals and local changemakers on advocacy efforts to secure brownfields funding in the budget. 

As in years past, the 2025 Ohio Brownfields Conference will provide networking opportunities, trainings, and informative panel sessions. GOPC is currently soliciting panel proposals.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Aaron Clapper, Director of Outreach and Projects at the Greater Ohio Policy Center.

We look forward to seeing you in May!
