Many American cities are now fiscally and economically stronger
than they have been in years. However, the task of revitalizing
America's cities remains unfinished, as does the challenge of
pursuing sustainable development across metro areas and balancing
the need for new growth with smart reinvestments in already
developed urban areas. Returning urban brownfields to productive
community use is a central aspect of both aims. Towards this end,
the Department is a principal partner in the Administration's
initiative to help communities clean up and sustainably redevelop
brownfields -- a priority for State and local elected officials.
Our tools include a new Brownfields Economic Development Initiative
(BEDI) to specifically address brownfields redevelopment needs,
participating in the Administration's Showcase Communities
Initiative, providing technical assistance to State and local
governments, and streamlining community development regulations to
make them "friendly" to brownfields redevelopment. Expanding our
knowledge base and developing new tools is a vital part of our
commitment. Consequently, the Office of Policy Development and
Research has initiated an active brownfields research and
development program. The purpose of our brownfields R&D work is
to better understand how brownfields become barriers to
revitalization of America's distressed communities and to develop
ways to overcome or eliminate those barriers.
