• By participating in the program, communities will develop locally driven revitalization plans and implementation strategies to improve neighborhoods or portions of communities that have been affected by multiple brownfield sites.
• The types of areas this program may be applied to may include but are not limited to: residential, commercial, industrial/manufacturing areas or corridors, waterfronts, or downtowns.
• The program's aim is to address problems caused by the presence of multiple brownfield sites rather than deal with a singular brownfield site in isolation.
• This program blends the Department of State's expertise in working in partnership with various interests on community based planning projects with the Department of Environmental Conservation's expertise in assessing and cleaning-up brownfields.
