Comment on the Brownfields Strategy Paper. Brownfields are prevalent throughout the region, and although they present challenges, they are usually in desirable locations with great potential for redevelopment. Federal, state, and local governments have recognized this, as well as regional non-profit groups and private investors, situating our region at the forefront in creative brownfield redevelopment strategies and partnerships. Despite this progress, there is much work to be done to clean-up brownfields region-wide. Please read and comment on the newest GO TO 2040 strategy report, which attempts to illustrate how many potential sites are in the region, in comparison to what’s been cleaned-up thus far. The report attempts to understand the multiple layers of benefits – economic, environment, and social – brownfield redevelopment can offer the region.
