EGLE’s Brownfield Program collaborates within communities to create economic opportunities by putting contaminated properties back into productive use while protecting human health and the environment.
The safe reuse of previously developed and contaminated properties helps to address contamination in the environment, minimize urban sprawl, and revitalize communities through investment, increased tax base, and job creation.
The program provides technical guidance and financial incentives to evaluate and mitigate environmental risks, relying on scientific data to ensure the best long-term outcomes and stewardship of tax dollars.
