Livability Principles and Brownfield Development

Livability Principles and Brownfield Development

I keep encountering “The Livability Principles” in Federal grant announcements, such as HUD’s Sustainable Communities Grant Program and the EPA’s ARC Grants Program. How is redeveloping a brownfield consistent with these “Livability Principles”?

Regulatory Agency Concern

Regulatory Agency Concern

My community would like to apply for an EPA site assessment grant. However, we are concerned about the US EPA becoming involved as the regulatory agency on our site – is our fear valid?  – Jacob M.
 
Where Are the Brownfields?

Where Are the Brownfields?

You can find a list of available brownfield sites for redevelopment, but it’s actually much more complicated and nuanced than it appears. The greatest challenge in finding suitable sites is that there isn’t standard criteria for determining whether or not a given property is a “brownfield.” This is because it is not simply the contamination itself that makes a property a brownfield, but rather the effect this contamination has on the ability of a property to realize its highest and best use.
