Brownfields Tool Kit Terms

The Environmental Law Institute’s Brownfields Tool Kit is a resource designed to help communities play a more pro-active role in brownfields cleanup and redevelopment. Too often, communities are in a reactive role, responding to proposals from developers or local governments. More importantly, large numbers of properties remain underused or abandoned in communities across the country because no one has taken the initiative to address them.

Brownfields Resources

One of the primary goals of the Brownfields Center is to facilitate the exchange of information among groups and communities working on brownfields issues and to increase the ability of community groups to participate effectively in brownfields redevelopment. On this page are links to resources that will aid in the process.
