In this month’s issue…
Brownfields can confuse, especially people who find themselves confronted with a redevelopment project who don’t work in the field every day. Knowing whom to turn to for input, advice and tried-and-true experience can both give you peace of mind and avoid potential pitfalls. That’s why networking is stressed in Oregon, connecting people working with brownfields in different ways. As an example of one of the many topics one comes across in brownfields, a project in Idaho offers an example of a new technology being used for cleanup. And Alaska’s tribes are awarded State and Tribal Response Program grants while the state encourages them to band together as consortia to tap into even more funding for assessments and cleanup.

About Building on Brownfields
This monthly e-newsletter, published by EPA Region 10, focuses on the economic and environmental gains that come from brownfields redevelopment in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
Brownfields are not just about the environment. Brownfields--property where future reuse may be complicated by contaminants--are revitalization tools that can take redevelopment pressures off of undeveloped or abandoned lands while improving and protecting the environment. Brownfields are about saving green space. And they're about fostering economic development.
This newsletter is for city planners, developers, environmental groups, local governments, property owners – anyone interested in brownfields. Each month, we explore topics related to buying, cleaning up and building on brownfields, including real-life success stories.
