Brownfields
Brownfields are found in all areas of the country. Brownfields are underutilized commercial and industrial properties that harbor perceived or real contamination within their boundaries that may indeed affect the entire neighborhood that surrounds them.
There are numerous benefits to Brownfields redevelopment. Brownfields redevelopment benefits property owners, neighborhoods, business, government, and the environment. These benefits include:
- Healthier environment
