* Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-used industrial or commercial properties with real or perceived environmental contamination. Previously, potential environmental liabilities and costs associated with cleaning up the contamination have been barriers to expansion of redevelopment of these properties. Through the City's initiative, stakeholders are working with developers to find workable solutions to assess, clean up, and return these sites to productive use.
