Description Brownfields are abandoned or underutilized properties that may have environmental contamination. An abandoned gas station or former fruit orchard are common examples of brownfields.

This two-page brochure is intended for local governments, Tribes, nonprofits, and other community organizations that are interested in redeveloping brownfield properties. It briefly explains what brownfields are and how they can impact people who live near one. The document also provides contact information for agencies that offer technical and financial resources (such as Integrated Planning Grants) that can help you investigate, clean up, and redevelop brownfields in Washington.
