«Brownfield Sites           

 

 

Brownfield Defined –

 

A brownfield is an abandoned, idled, or underused property where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by the presence or potential presence of contamination.  Brownfields sites include abandoned factories and other industrial facilities, gasoline stations, oil storage facilities, dry cleaning stores and other business that dealt with polluting substances. .

 

Brownfields Redevelopment Investment –

 

Brownfields redevelopment can benefit both private investors and the communities in which they are located.  For the private sector, brownfields redevelopment can mean new business opportunities, the potential for profit on unused or under-utilized properties, improved community and environmental stewardship, and access to untapped urban markets.  The retail purchasing power of all central city residents is conservatively estimated at $665 billion.  Even households in the most economically distressed urban neighborhoods possess $85 billion in annual retail purchasing power.  Brownfields redevelopment is critical to untapping these consumer markets.

 

The public sector can benefit from an increased number of employment opportunities, increased local and state tax revenues, improvements in the community’s quality of life, and a reduction of urban sprawl.

 

Federal Funding Support –

 

Since the inception of the Brownfields Development Program, the Environmental Protection Agency has awarded 1067 assessment grants totaling $262 million, 217 revolving loan fund grants totaling $201.7 million, and 336 cleanup grants totaling $61.3 million.

 

Distressed Real Estate Consulting Services, Inc. will identify brownfield redevelopment parcels scheduled for sale by municipal and county governments across the United States .  Moreover, DRECS personnel will guide the purchaser through every step of the permitting, licensing, and acquisition process including refinancing all legal, financing and engineering professional services.
