Receiving a $200,000 EPA Brownfields Assessment grant is a tremendous opportunity to redevelop old abandoned sites in your community or region and also to create needed jobs, increase your local tax base and create more greenspace. However, despite this awesome opportunity, some Brownfields programs fail to achieve the kind of success and/or program momentum that they should. In our opinion, the lack of overall programmatic success comes from two common dilemmas that occur.

• DILEMMA #1 - There are excellent sites in the region that would fit well with the program, yet site owners are unwilling to participate, and • DILEMMA #2 – Many sites get entered into the program and assessed, but no redevelopment actually happens. I want to focus this blog on the first dilemma. (Please see my next blog for addressing the second dilemma, coming soon).

The idea for this blog came from a question we received from a potential client after an interview regarding the implementation of a regional Brownfields Program. I feel that the question posed accurately characterizes the dilemma. Question: In our region, our experience has been that there are plenty of Brownfield sites, but not too many candidate sites – meaning that for one reason or another, our inventory contains a number of sites that did not appear to be “ripe” for assessment. One of the chief barriers was in finding property owners who were willing to be a part of the assessment program.
