Northeast Midwest Institute

Overview of the Brownfields Program

History and Overview

The Northeast-Midwest Institute has been at the forefront of brownfield policy development and information dissemination since the early 1990s, when the Institute organized the first brownfields conference in Chicago in 1991 and published the landmark New Life For Old Buildings. This report was the first to analyze the legal, regulatory, and financial barriers to cleaning up and reusing old industrial sites. Intense regional and national interest in the implications of brownfields for urban redevelopment and environmental cleanup led the Institute to launch an ongoing research program to identify the impacts of federal and state policies and programs on community revitalization efforts and suggest opportunities for improvement.
