What is a Brownfield?

A brownfield is a site where reuse or redevelopment is complicated by the presence, or perceived presence, of environmental contaminants.

Gas stations, dry cleaners, meth houses, old mines, sugar beet factories, landfills are a few examples of brownfield sites.

The Benefits of Redevelopment

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.

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.
