Reindustrialization
Team Honored with Phoenix Award for Excellence in Brownfield
Redevelopment
Oak
Ridge, Tenn. - The Phoenix is regarded in many cultures
as a symbol of renewal and rebirth, so it is fitting
that the CROET, BJC, and DOE Reindustrialization team
was honored with the EPA Phoenix Award for their efforts
to give the former K-25 Gaseous Diffusion Plant a new
life as the Heritage Center. The Team was presented
with the award at the International Brownfield's Conference,
in Portland, OR. The team received another honor at
the conference when they were presented with the "Best
Poster Exhibit" award for their entry depicting
a timeline of the Heritage Center site's pre-Manhattan
project through Accelerated Closure.
