IDA staff to present at Brownfield conference; IDA Academy and ABO reporting trainings planned
Summary
Staff said they will present at a Brownfield conference in Chicago in early August, mentioned a smaller Brownfield event in Schenectady in September and discussed attending an IDA Academy in Ithaca that satisfies a three-year training requirement tied to ABO reporting.
Staff told the Herkimer County Local Development Corporation they will present at a Brownfield conference in Chicago during the first week of August and noted a smaller Brownfield conference planned in Schenectady in September. The presenter also discussed attending an IDA Academy session in Ithaca and encouraged board members to participate.
"I'm gonna be presenting in Chicago coming up at a Brownfield conference in, August, first week in August. And then there's another Brownfield smaller conference that's gonna be in Schenectady in, in, like, the September," the presenter said. The presenter added that the IDA Academy session in Ithaca would fulfill a three-year training requirement: "it's a great chance to understand things better, plus that'll check your requirement for 3 years too."
Why it matters: Conferences and training can improve local authority staff's understanding of brownfield remediation, grant administration and ABO reporting requirements, and attendance may satisfy periodic training expectations for authority members and staff.
Details: The presenter offered to drive interested attendees and said earlier attendees named Alana and Anne had previously attended similar training. No registration details, costs, or formal travel approvals were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
Next steps: Staff will share dates and details when available and coordinate attendance; the transcript does not show a formal vote authorizing travel or expenditures.
