Stakeholder Involvement
Recognizing the importance of stakeholders in the brownfields prioritization and redevelopment process, Shenandoah County has identified partners that will support all stages of site selection and redevelopment.
Shenandoah Brownfields Redevelopment Advisory Group
Shenandoah County will establish a Shenandoah Brownfields Redevelopment Advisory Group (Shenandoah BRAG) that includes governmental, social, and economic organizations with outreach capabilities to the target areas and disadvantaged communities. These representatives were chosen so that site selection, prioritization, and redevelopment can be informed by experts in fields that span economics, education, health, and community advocacy. The following Project Partners have committed to participating in Shenandoah BRAG:
​
-
Department of Social Services
-
Laurel Ridge Community College
-
Shenandoah County Public Schools
-
Shenandoah Industrial Development Authority
-
Shenandoah Rail Trail Exploratory Partnership
