Even though the definition of a brownfield site is just a few decades old, the longer lens of history shows that redevelopment is a constantly occurring event in municipalities and communities. Today, brownfield redevelopment is a critical practice for community revitalization, involving identification and realization of economic, environmental, and social goals.
In partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, ICMA has released a new guide to brownfield redevelopment for resilient and equitable communities.
The guide provides background on the enduring and more recent factors influencing brownfield redevelopment, and an overview of national, regional, state, and local technical assistance, tools, and resources available to support effective and sustainable redevelopment. It also includes spotlights on innovative redevelopment projects from around the country.
