Barrett Kays & Associates - Brownfields Redevelopment

The desire to redevelop our urban cores and to find ways to put to use abandoned, idle, and underused properties that may have been or were contaminated by past industrial and commercial activities led the way to new "brownfields" redevelopment concept. The concept is for federal, state, and local regulatory agencies to become flexible business partners to encourage urban redevelopment. Reuse of such idle or underutilized property helps redevelop our resources, thereby increasing the tax base and benefiting all citizens.

BKA played a prominent role in developing a new brownfields bill introduced and passed into legislation. The bill provides incentives for potential purchasers and developers of brownfields to provide capital and labor to improve brownfields without undue risk of liability for problems they did not create. It also ensure that the property is made environmentally safe. This "safe" for appropriate future use concept frequently eliminates the need for costly and unnecessary remediation.

It takes a unique firm to provide all the credentials, experience, and skills necessary to make optimum use of brownfields legislation. BKA has such a team. Our professionals blend a thorough understanding of development zoning and planning, environmental remediation, and economic incentive strategies to provide all the key ingredients to put the best possible brownfield economic concept together for your project.
