Assisting Projects, Sharing Knowledge
Through the Project Learning Program (PLP), CCLR assists nonprofits,
municipalities, and community organizations in tackling brownfield
redevelopment projects. Each year, CCLR assists several communities and organizations, providing them with
technical assistance necessary to address
brownfield-related issues such as: contamination and remediation,
economic feasibility, regulatory facilitation, financing, and
community-based decision making. Often projects retain outside consultants to assist with community-consensus
building, economic feasibility studies, site reuse planning,
and site design.
The Purpose of PLP
- Study the conditions that contribute
to abandonment and under-use of urban and rural land, and
document the nature of the problems preventing reuse.
- Test proposed solutions on selected
projects; these can be used to inform the development of
practice and policy changes.
- Develop replicable approaches to
help bring future brownfield redevelopment projects to fruition.
Advisory Services
CCLR provides technical assistance in the following
areas:
- Feasibility studies for brownfield programs and projects.
- Planning strategies for sustainable and infill development.
- Federal and State regulations and brownfield programs.
- Guidelines for site selection and remediation planning.
- Real estate development, project management, and marketing.
- Financial resources and liability insurance requirements.
- Risk communication and community involvement processes.
- Phase I and II report guidelines; consultant selection
and review.
Learning from the Process
The lessons learned from each project
are captured in Case Studies,
published by CCLR. The Case Studies that serve as an educational
tool for stakeholders interested in land recycling while also
illustrating areas where State public policy reform is lacking
in the promotion of brownfield redevelopment.
