The
above two pictures are the same property,
located in the City of Lantana near the Ritz Carlton hotel. The
property was a fill site which has been cleaned up and
redeveloped as an adult living facility. The clean up and reuse
of property is an example of brownfield
redevelopment.
What are brownfields?
Brownfields
are generally defined as abandoned, idle, or underused
industrial and commercial property where expansion or
redevelopment is complicated by actual or perceived
contamination.
Why
is brownfield redevelopment important?
Brownfield
redevelopment helps to recycle old property into active reuse.
It helps to clean up the environment, create jobs, and increase
the tax base. Property is precious: clean-up and redevelopment
benefits the environment, people, and the economy.
