At the Detroit Brownfields 2008 conference, ICMA debuted ICMAtv, which featured videos, interviews, and case study resources on leadership, sustainability, and how communities and local governments are reusing and redeveloping brownfields sites. During the conference display screens are stationed around the conference, in the exhibit hall, and at attendee hotel rooms. After the conference the videos are displayed on www.icmatv.com.
Highlights from Brownfields 2008
EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response
Susan Bodine, Assistant Administrator for the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, addressed Brownfields 2008. ICMA TV's Stephen Horn talks with Susan to find out her message to the Brownfields community.
Interview with Ed Daley
Former President of ICMA
Stephen Horn meets ICMA President, Ed Daley at Brownfields 2008 and asks him why sustainability is so important to the organization and its members.
Bridging the Gap
Innovative Funding Workshop
Remediation and development of Brownfield sites can be expensive; more and more federal, state and local government funding falls short of what is needed. The Innovative Funding Workshop at Brownfields 2008 explored the options available in the non-profit sector. ICMA TV was there to find out why this approach can benefit non-profits, local government and the for-profit sectors.
Richards-Gebaur - From Airfields to Brownfields
Kansas City, MO
This film highlights dramatic developments at Kansas City, Missouri's latest large-scale brownfield project, the former Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base, a 1,400 acre former defense site that is being cleaned up and transformed into a state-of-the-art transportation logistics hub, with surface and subsurface industrial park facilities.
Want ICMAtv to come to your community?
If your organization is still looking for a great opportunity to spread the word about innovative brownfields and sustainability practices, than consider using ICMAtv. Communities can showcase their projects and achievements while highlighting business investment opportunities. Businesses involved in the cleanup, reuse, and redevelopment of brownfields will be able to highlight new products and services to conference attendees and website visitors.
ICMA is again partnering with WebsEdge of London in the production of a daily television program. Each of the daily ICMA TV programs will include interviews with key speakers and leaders, news from the conference floor, and several five-minute, pre-recorded thought leadership films that will highlight communities from around the country. These segments are produced at $19,500 and, in addition to the exposure at the conference and on the web, you will also get a film of your project to use for community outreach, funding or partnership proposals, marketing, or recruitment WebsEdge is an organization founded by former BBC and CNN producers. Their production expertise creates memorable and compelling case studies.
