Great stuff. Brownfields redevelopment is one topic I have wanted to learn more about for some time. I've had the opportunity to hear one of the speakers, Doug Brown of ASTI, discuss the importance of environmental audits in real estate transactions. He is a gifted speaker and an accomplished businessman. I will attempt to make this presentation. -Spiff | ||

Rob - You do realize that you are posting about a $20/head event on a forum where people bitch about a $7.00 salad, right? | ||

Those don't particularly equate, Dabirch. I'll avoid a place that hits me an extra buck a pint, but am curious for this enough to have it be a reason to support them. Sounds like it ain't just tickets to the event. Cheers! |
