Many of our communities include properties that have a long
history of commercial and industrial use. The early development of these properties often marked an important stage or turning
point in the history of these communities, and many of these properties and buildings have become prominent and identifying
features of the landscape that still may hold significance to the people who live and work in these communities today. However,
due to their past uses, the current conditions of the properties – often referred to as brownfields – may pose a variety of
environmental concerns. The environmental issues – and their associated legal and financial risks – may have significant
impacts on possible construction schedule, the current or future uses of these properties.
