Financial programs for brownfields remediation
Description
By expanding the legal definition of a brownfield, clarifying remediation standards, and limiting investor liability, the Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002 added much-needed momentum to the land recycling movement. This documentary shows how redevelopers of brownfields, both actual and perceived, are bridging the financial gap between proposal and implementation with cleanup grants, tax credits, low-interest and revolving loans, hazardous discharge remediation funding, bonds, and empowerment zoning. Many experts-public planners and private developers, regional administrators and state coordinators, lenders and insurers-are featured. Produced by John W. Sutherlin, Ph.D.
