Revitalization-Ready Guide

A Guide to Revitalizing Land in Your Community

At first glance, the reuse possibilities for a contaminated (or potentially contaminated) property in your community may be unclear. But thoughtful and upfront planning for property reuse will typically create exciting opportunities within the redevelopment process, such as: 

• including sustainable development approaches, and
• integrating site assessment and cleanup activities alongside the redevelopment.  

This Revitalization-Ready Guide is designed to provide information for local and county governments, tribes, quasi-governmental organizations and non-governmental organizations interested in facilitating the cleanup and reuse of brownfield properties.
