Dear Brownfield Interested Party:

 

I am pleased to invite you to the Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund (CORF) Application Training session. This training will be held from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on July 1, 2008 via video conference.  Staff from the Ohio Department of Development and the Ohio EPA will review the Round 5 CORF application in its entirety and answer any specific stakeholder questions.
