The Brownfields Law

The Brownfields Law provides government support and funding to help clean up and redevelop existing urban properties—called brownfields—that may be contaminated or underused due to past industrial or commercial activity. Its goal is to revitalize these areas, encouraging economic growth, job creation, and environmental recovery, while protecting public health. The law offers financial assistance and liability protections to encourage private investment in cleaning up contaminated sites, making it safer and more attractive for development and reuse. This benefits communities by transforming neglected lots into productive spaces, fostering sustainable urban renewal.
