More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Virtually every city in the nation's older industrial regions, no matter its size, grapples with the challenge of unused or abandoned manufacturing facilities and other industrial sites. Local public officials, economic development practitioners, and site owners who have sought to revitalize fallow industrial properties face daunting challenges: contamination of the buildings, equipment, and surrounding land and water. Public concern about health effects from hazardous chemicals, changing environmental law, and evolving private sector development and financing priorities have made it increasingly difficult for communities to restore and reuse former manufacturing sites. This study, sponsored by the Northeast-Midwest Institute, offers analysis and practical guidance on how these blighted areas--brownfields--have been and can be brought back to life.

Bartsch is a Breath of Fresh Air to a World of Contamination
22 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
Bartsch makes Brownfields fun in this work that will most definately make him a national wonder. He explains the importance of rehabilitation of these rundown disasters. Within the next few years, Brownfields should be a household name. Bartsch was like the Jesus that opened my eyes with the mud titled "Brownfields".The book shows that there is a lot of potential in this world for disgusting areas to br turned into healthy, thriving land to be home of new commerce, industry, and residential areas. Brownfields are the beginning of the next industrial revolution!
