RAMS partners with IRRR and ITMEC for Brownfields Conference

On April 3, 2025, RAMS partnered with IRRR and the Iron Trail Motors Event Center to host the first Iron Range Brownfields and Land Redevelopment Conference in Virginia, MN. This event brought together municipal members, experts from multiple agencies, developers, and technical experts from across the state. Attendees and RAMS members from the entire Taconite Assistance Area learned from presenters about the unique landscape of brownfields in the TAA and what they need to know to navigate the funding, regulatory, and project challenges and opportunities in their communities. The conference culminated in an optional tour of the New Range project site. I really can’t thank the IRRR staff, ITMEC, and the cities of Eveleth, Virginia, and Ely enough for their partnership and engagement in putting on this event.
