Trenton's Successful Brownfields Story

"Trenton no longer makes as much as it once did for world consumption. The city known for pottery, plumbing fixtures, and batteries saw the number of jobs its factories offered fall from a peak of 50,000 to 4,000 today.The loss left abandoned industrial sites and 18 percent of the population living below the poverty line... Trenton [has become] the poster child for what can be accomplished with federal and state funds, public-private partnership, top-notch planning, and major initiative, but it isn't the only brownfield showplace in the region."
