Report to the Chairman, Committee on Commerce, House of Representatives.
In urban planning, a brownfield is a former industrial or commercial site where environmental contamination hinders development. They exist in almost every community--there is probably one in your neighborhood--and state or federal resources can be used to facilitate assessment, cleanup and reuse. Drawing on a range of local and international experiences, this collection of essays focuses on cases where citizens, nonprofits, developers, cities, and state and federal agencies overcame challenges and mitigated risks to redevelop brownfields using leading-edge practices and simple innovations. The Covid-19 pandemic and mass civil unrest of 2020 underscores the importance of health and social justice considerations in future development initiatives.
Cleaning up and redeveloping environmentally contaminated real estate, also knows as 'brownfields, ' can be extremely lucrative. This book is a comprehensive guide to the issues surrounding brownfields initiatives. It examines success stories of state and federal brownfields programs; the legal implications of purchasing, improving, redeveloping, and revitalizing these sites; incentives available; and strategies for undertaking these projects. Special features include checklists, cost estimates for sample projects, and tables listing features of individual programs and lists of resources
Written for real estate lawyers, environmental lawyers, property owners, lenders, environmental consultants, environmental regulators, state or local government leaders and developers.
