Site Reuse

Meeting Community Needs Through Brownfield Cleanups

Opportunities abound to meet the needs of communities affected by site contamination. New business activity, housing or other types of redevelopment can restore the proud heritage of successful enterprise to our historic cities and other locales. Revitalized and safe residential neighborhoods can flourish at these sites or adjacent to them. When the community is involved early and often in the redevelopment process, neighborhood residents and local officials will benefit from and support such endeavors for many years to come. Channeling more private funds to cleanups also saves public funds for other affected sites when no responsible parties or interested developers can be found. DEP is committed to providing the key parties--residents, local officials, developers, businesses, the lending community--with the necessary support to stimulate real community successes.
