Brownfields Advisory Committee

An advisory committee of local leaders and experts oversees the program. The Committee has established a set of six criteria for selecting which sites to study.

  1. The site has redevelopment potential;
  2. The site will assist in addressing public health, environmental, and land use issues;
  3. The site assessment and redevelopment has community and/or municipal  support;
  4. Redeveloping the site offers public benefit, such as housing or parkland/greenspace;
  5. The owner or developer has provided willingness and can provide financial support/in-kind help for cleanup, if it is needed; and
  6. Results are achievable.
