Brownfields Redevelopment

As a government planning official, you recognize that redevelopment of industrial property is problematic. One disreputable site can blight an entire neighborhood. The owner does not know if the site is actually contaminated and wants to “clean it up,” but the potential liabilities are frightening. There are state grants available to help identify site problems, prepare a plan for redevelopment, and protect the owner from liabilities. EAE can help you through the process from identification of the sites through grant proposals and Environmental Site Assessments to the letter of Certification of Completion.
