New York’s Brownfield Cleanup Program is designed to encourage private-sector cleanups of brownfields and promote their redevelopment as a means to revitalize economically blighted communities. The program serves as an alternative to “greenfield” (land not previously developed or contaminated) development and aims to remove barriers and provide tax incentives for redevelopment. Since its inception in 2003, the BCP has catalyzed the cleanup of more than 500 contaminated sites statewide and incentivized redevelopment, with more than 550 active sites currently in the program.
Additional information on the State’s Brownfield program is available on DEC’s website. Translation services are also available for this notice, with further translation-related information provided in a PDF.
