The Northeast-Midwest Institute is releasing an updated review of brownfield initiatives and program impacts in the 50 states.
The Brownfield "State of the State" 2001 Report presents information on the number of brownfield sites in state programs, innovative financing, regulatory incentives, liability provisions, and institutional controls. Economic benefits resulting from redevelopment -- such as new businesses, new jobs, and tax revenues -- are also included. This report provides a common ground for analysis and comparison, while demonstrating the remarkable success many states have already achieved.
