This issue of Environmental Progress highlights brownfields projects in three areas of our state, each of them unique, yet also excellent examples of the types of partnerships between state and local government and the private sector at various stages that are making abandoned and potentially contaminated industrial and commercial sites productive and attractive again, instead of being symbols of community decline and blight.
