“…Third, reuse determines cleanup and may be influenced by factors beyond those examined in this research, including location-specific factors such as land cost, property size, location, the extent of contamination, greenfield or "clean land" availability, developer interest and available financing [10,34,35,99]. For example, reported data does not detail contaminant levels so no risk inferences can be made.…”

“…The revitalization of brownfields through cleanup and reuse has been and will continue to be advanced and accelerated by research that seeks: (1) to better understand developer and other stakeholder perspectives and the barriers to investment; (2) understand impacts on local government and communities; and, (3) to identify effective and appropriate incentives for brownfield redevelopment [26,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Drawing on decades of remediation experience at the state, tribal, and federal level, brownfield cleanup takes a risk-based approach-meaning that the cleanup goals are based on anticipated exposure risks to human health and the environment-informed by the plan for subsequent reuse [34][35][36][37][38][39].…”

As with other developments, successful reuse has been associated with brownfield site size and location, incentives for developers, community support and integration of reuse with neighborhood plans, whereas conflicting land uses and unimproved infrastructure impede redevelopment efforts [31,35,39]. Research on the effect of cleanup on property values nationally showed a 5.0-11.5% average increase in property values within 5.0 kilometers of a brownfield cleanup while local studies found housing price increases of 2.7% in Minneapolis and 11.4% in Milwaukee [40,41].…”

“…Surveys of developers and residents have documented successful project incorporation of green reuse as well as green reuse preferences that may require less investment [7,8,10,35,[50][51][52]. As an example of a stressor exerting a positive influence, the presence of more than one brownfield may motivate green reuse combined with other reuse.…”

Limited research has examined brownfields clean-up, reuse choice and associations with flood risk or resilience. This cross-sectional analysis examines counties with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funded brownfield cleanups initiated from 2005 through 2009 and assesses the county-level relationship of green reuse with flood risk while accounting for county factors of resources, environmental stressors, race and ethnicity, location, and structural characteristics, as modified from the Gee and Payne-Sturges conceptual model of community environmental health. Flood plain designation predicted a three-fold odds of green reuse alone (OR = 2.96 [95% CI, 1.31-6.66]) and green with other reuses (OR = 2.88 [95% CI, 1.07-7.75]). Green reuse alone was influenced negatively when a county had an eastern or western US location or a larger proportion of population aged 5-24 and positively when population education levels were higher. Among counties with green and other reuse, low education was predictive. Conceptually, decisions for green reuse alone were driven by resources and location while decisions for green and other reuse were driven by resources, location and environmental stressors.

“…Stakeholders of an industrial brownfield project can include property owners, regulators, consultants, lenders, city/county planners, economic development agencies/authorities, politicians, developers, real estate agents, academics/students, lawyers, and surrounding communities (Lang & McNeil, 2004). This study focuses on two main groups of stakeholders; private developers or land owners and local governments.…”

The Influence of Incentives Offered by Local Governments to Private Developers or Land Owners on the Rate of Brownfield Redevelopment

Redevelopment of brownfield sites has become increasingly popular since the inception of voluntary cleanup programs in the early to mid 1990's. Local governments have begun to offer incentives to private developers or land owners to offset costs associated with contamination and encourage the redevelopment of properties that are typically underutilized. Incentives may take several forms including, but not limited to, fast-tracked project approval, risk based cleanup standards, liability relief, tax breaks, and direct funding assistance.This study investigates how incentives that are offered by local governments to private developers or land owners influence the rate of redevelopment in their sphere of influence. A survey was administered to local governments throughout the State of California to determine how incentives are used for the redevelopment of brownfields. Results from this study show a preference by participating local governments to offer direct funding assistance, which may be directly linked to a relative level of inexperience.

Attracting private investment to contaminated properties: The value of public interventions

We employ a mail survey of private developers that uses conjoint choice experiments and Likert-scaled attitudinal questions to examine preferences for policy instruments and incentives intended to encourage brownfield cleanup and redevelopment. Our analysis suggests that developers judge public hearing requirements at brownfield redevelopments unattractive, but that they place a relatively high value on liability relief-from both cleanup costs and claims by third parties. Reimbursement of environmental assessment costs is not particularly attractive. We also find considerable heterogeneity among developers in the value they place on these incentives, depending on their experience with contaminated sites. © 2006 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management
