Partnerships Powering Redevelopment The Oakley Story: From End of the Line to Regional Hub
This is an evolving story of how a small town in California banded together with an industrial owner of a former manufacturing site and a developer to create a dynamic new job center. Working together, they overcame legacy environmental impacts, a bottleneck of transportation infrastructure, and lack of jobs for the growing middle-class population.
Hear from the mayor, the developer, and the former owner of the site on how they achieved success and continue to build for the future!
**New speaker added: Matt Ward will discuss an earlier-stage redevelopment effort in Huntington, WV**

Huntington, West Virginia is at an earlier stage of the redevelopment process, undergoing an initiative to transform a vacant manufacturing site and adjacent brownfields into an innovation zone. Matt Ward will discuss how the Huntington Brownfields Innovation Zone (H-BIZ) is reshaping this area to include a technology- and knowledge-sector commercial development, baseball stadium, mixed-use redevelopment, public spaces, and green infrastructure.
