A brownfield is property that is not being redeveloped because it is or might be contaminated. The possible presence of hazardous materials poses liability, cost, and time obstacles to investment in and redevelopment of these sites.
Brownfields are often a blight on urban neighborhoods. Most brownfields produce little tax revenue and few jobs, if any. When brownfields are investigated, cleaned up, and returned to productive use the City, its economy, and its neighborhoods benefit.
OEC coordinates the City's official brownfields efforts and develops brownfields policy. We assist City agencies with brownfields issues generally, helping with community involvement, state/federal agency interactions, investigation, remediation, and end-use planning issues. OEC also facilitates the City's participation in state and federal grant programs, provides information and assistance to community and business groups working on brownfields redevelopment, and represents the public sector on the executive committee of the New York State Chapter of the National Brownfields Association.
