New Report: The Environmental and Economic Impacts of Brownfields Redevelopment

The Northeast-Midwest Institute has completed a new report entitled "The Environmental and Economic Impacts of Brownfields Redevelopment." The report estimates: one dollar of public investment in brownfields leverages eight dollars in total investment, jobs are leveraged in brownfields projects with a ratio of between $10,000 and $13,000 of new public investment needed to create/retain one job, one acre of redeveloped brownfields corresponds to 4.5 acres of preserved greenfields and case studies of brownfields sites indicate that redevelopment of brownfields sites reduces vehicle miles traveled by 20 to 40 percent compared to sprawl development, while simultaneously reducing air emissions and greenhouse gases.
