Financing Brownfields: State Program Highlights

Public financing often is essential for encouraging the assessment and cleanup of brownfields.  Increasingly, states are stepping in to assist communities and the private sector in bridging the financing gap associated with brownfields redevelopment. States offer a variety of incentive programs to encourage investment in brownfields development.  This report provides an overview of the types of financial tools and incentives offered by state governments to bridge financial gaps and encourage private sector investment in the revitalization of our communities.  The report features a detailed look at more than 50 financial incentive programs offered by 25 states. Many of programs are directly linked to brownfields revitalization. Other programs support brownfields revitalization indirectly, by providing assistance for overall cashflow management for brownfields projects or enticing investment in brownfields properties
