In April, 2005 more than 190 people came together for the Wisconsin Waterfront Revitalization Conference at the Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. This event offered expert panels and an exhibit showcase to assist coastal communities with revitalization based on redevelopment of underutilized areas and protection of natural and coastal resources. The Blue Harbor Resort was chosen because of its location on Lake Michigan and its brownfield history as the former C.Reiss Coal facility.

The Wisconsin Waterfront Revitalization Conference was designed to:

• Improve local waterfront community awareness and use of existing state and federal programs available to assist with waterfront community revitalization.
• Maximize the use of existing brownfields and open space/coastal resources protection programs
• Promote the development of teams and partnerships
