A Message from the Associate Dean

We have no final budget numbers from Campus regarding FY10. For planning purposes, we are planning for a 3% and 5% reduction in GRF, plus a 4% hold back. With respect to IDOA budget lines, we do not yet have any guidelines or guesses.

we will keep you updated on these budgets as well as informed as to the receipt of FY09 funds connected to the three IDOA lines.

Have a great week and a safe 4th of July!!

Sincerely,
Dennis R. Campion, Associate Dean
Extension and Outreach

A BROWNFIELDS GRANTWRITING WORKSHOP on Friday, July 24, 2009, 8:30 a.m - 4:00 p.m., in The Forum, University of Illinois at Chicago, 725 W. Roosevelt Rd., Chicago, IL

Wha are BROWNFIELDS? The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines brownfields as "real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant." A brownfield may be anything from a shuttered factory to a former gas station to an empty lot. It may or may not in fact be contaminated. Testing and remediating a brownfield can yield an array of benefits to a community, including a cleaner environment, better public health, new jobs and an increased tax base.
