Background:

Brownfield Redevelopment Community Improvement Plan (CIP)

Brownfield sites are properties that may be contaminated due to previous industrial or commercial uses such as a manufacturing facility or gas station. City Council approved a Brownfield Redevelopment CIP at its April 19, 2010 meeting for the purpose of encouraging the study, clean-up, and redevelopment of contaminated properties. The approval of the CIP was the result of nearly five years of study and consultation, which began in October 2005.
