Quick Overview of Area Wide Brownfield Inventory
You get a list of properties that are likely Brownfields in a community.Each property has a score (0-7) based on the likelihood of hazardous waste contamination.This tool will help communities prioritize sites for redevelopment.More from Christine O’Keefe tomorrow afternoon.Slide22
