Since its inception, EPA＇s Brownfelds Program has grown into a proven, results-oriented program that has changed the way contaminated property is perceived, addressed, and managed. In addition to improved public health and environmental quality, benefts include new housing, businesses, public facilities, and parks and the creation of new jobs. The program continues to look to the future by forming new partnerships and constantly exploring creative new ways to help revitalize communities throughout the United States.
