Brownfield Redevelopment: Your Guide

Brownfield properties are fallow or underutilized sites that are not utilized to their fullest potential due to actual or perceived contamination issues. Federal and state governments have acknowledged that leaving such properties idle imposes burdens on society's infrastructure, necessitating the development of greenfields—areas where prior development has yet to take place. Many brownfield properties are strategically located near urban areas, and repurposing these sites can help alleviate demands on community infrastructure, such as highway traffic, among others.
