Brownfields Redevelopment

Brownfields are abandoned or underutilized sites with environmental concerns that complicate the reuse of the property. Brownfield redevelopment offers potential opportunities for retail, commercial, residential, and industrial center projects; programs have been established on both the state and federal level, providing economic incentives and liability protections to potential brownfield redevelopers.

JMS assists private parties, municipalities, developers and businesses in the assessment, cleanup and restoration of brownfield properties to productive use. The key to a successful brownfield redevelopment project is coordination of the remediation with the redevelopment of the property. JMS makes coordination the central focus of our work, enabling our clients to reach their project objectives.

A wide variety of grants, loans, economic incentives, and cost recovery programs are available for brownfield redevelopment and underground storage tank removal. These fiscal programs are designed to promote environmental clean-up and to enhance the financial viability of contaminated property redevelopment. JMS knows the programs and the processes, and we help clients identify the appropriate grants or loans, assist with the application process, and follow through to funding completion.
