September 2008 Agenda

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines brownfields as real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. EPA's Brownfields Cleanup and Redevelopment Program is an organized commitment to help communities revitalize such properties both environmentally and economically, mitigate potential health risks, and restore economic vitality to areas where brownfields exist. Successful brownfields cleanup and redevelopment are proof that economic development and the environment can, and indeed, must coexist.
