#TBT to the annual Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) Summit, closer & 🔑 part of the California Land Recycling Conference in Carson, Calif last month (#CALRC24). 🙌 #CALRC, as always, was brimming with opportunities to learn, train & network with community groups & land restoration professionals focused on beneficial reuse of underutilized & contaminated properties. Every year, the ECRG Summit closes out CALRC, an event that fosters invaluable connections, highlights project successes & provides opportunities for direct feedback we use to improve the program. 📸 DTSC's Doris Nguyen from the Office of Brownfields & grantees during an ECRG Summit focus group
