Are you ready to turn your property's rags to riches story into a Motown hit? The Perfect Pitch Competition is your chance to transform your environmentally-impaired or underutilized property into a thriving asset for your community, Motown-style. Pitch your property at the 2023 National Brownfields Training Conference in Detroit and get invaluable feedback from seasoned developers and redevelopment experts on your plans for reusing and revitalizing your property.

EPA’s Technical Assistance to Brownfield Communities (TAB) providers will select three submissions for an opportunity to pitch at the National Brownfields Conference scheduled for August 8-10 in Detroit, Michigan. The Perfect Pitch Competition is slated for Thursday, August 10, 10:30 am - 12:45 pm. All three will get up to $20,000 in pro bono professional consultation that is focused on your site’s specific challenges. The goal is to build capacity, increase the profile of your site, and connect you with investors, developers and resources to accelerate your redevelopment timeline.

Get ready to make your property a Motown hit! Whether your property is in the early stages of redevelopment or ready for a developer, the Perfect Pitch Competition will help you gain a deeper understanding of how to help your property go platinum!
