Brownfield Financial Resources Manual
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation commissioned the preparation of the Brownfield Financial Resources Manual (PDF 1.48 MB - 371 pages) to provide assistance to municipalities and the private sector in the redevelopment of brownfield sites in New York State. This manual provides information on state, federal and private funding and financial incentives, as well as technical assistance and liability protection available for the cleanup and redevelopment of brownfield sites in New York State.
The manual provides case studies that demonstrate how various funding sources, including grants and no- or low-interest loans, have been used to redevelop brownfield sites in New York State. These case studies identify state, federal and private sector entities involved in providing financial resources. The case studies also identify the incentives and programs that provided funding for both project development and implementation, including development of master plans, inventories of brownfield sites and community participation programs, and assessment, remediation and redevelopment of brownfield sites. The case studies include project description and history, difficulties encountered and solutions developed, with emphasis on financing issues.
