Company Membership
CCLR Members firmly believe that all abandoned and underutilized properties have a future as community assets.
Your Support Helps Create the Safe, Healthy Places Every Community Deserves
CCLR’s leadership has never been more essential. In a complex and rapidly evolving political, environmental, and economic landscape, brownfield redevelopment offers community-driven solutions to some of our nation’s most pressing challenges—from climate change and housing shortages to economic inequality and public health. Your support is vital to preserving our progress and creating safe, healthy neighborhoods where people live, work and play. CCLR works across the country under diverse grants and contracts, including as brownfield technical assistance providers for U.S. EPA and CA DTSC. We also co-manage the National Brownfields Coalition, the brownfield industry’s voice in D.C. These roles give us unparalleled insights into emerging reuse trends, federal and state policy developments, and funding opportunities that shape the future of land reuse. We leverage this specialized knowledge to strengthen networks, influence policy, and deliver tangible results—especially for disadvantaged communities facing redevelopment challenges.

Testimonials
“We are truly grateful for the dedication, experience and passion that the CCLR team has brought to this project. The results speaker louder than any powerpoint deck can do justice and we are eternally grateful for CCLR’s leadership and support in this effort, and to the EPA for making the services available to us. ”
“Due to the generosity of the Center for Creative Land Recycling, I was provided a scholarship to attend the 2025 CA Land Recycling Conference in Carson, California. The conference was very well organized and the quality of speakers and presentations was outstanding. It enabled me to learn a lot about land redevelopment and the challenges from the perspectives of various stakeholders. I am thankful to the organizers for putting such a strong show together and I look forward to attending next year.”
“Thank you so much for helping me through the RFP process. Your guidance, feedback and patience made a huge difference- not just in the quality of the final product, but in my confidence navigating it for the first time. I learned so much from working with you, and I’m truly grateful for your support every step of the way. “
