What are Brownfields?
Brownfields are real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse
of which may be complicated by the presence or perceived presence
of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
Redevelopment Benefits?
Cleaning up and reinvesting in these infill sites reduces sprawl
pressure, reuses rather than extends infrastructure, enables
upgrading of buildings to green-build standards, allows for higher
density development where appropriate, preserves open space, and
both improves and protects the environment. Redevelopment of
brownfield sites stimulates investment in local economies and directly
combats blighting conditions. Brownfield sites offer reuse
opportunities for both public and private investment
