NALGEP Research Summit
Professor
Jonathan Deason participated in the “Brownfields Showcase Community
Research Summit: A New Era for Community Development,” held at the Hilton
Hotel and Towers in Washington, D.C. on July 30- August 1, 2003. The Summit
was sponsored by the National Association of Local Government Environmental
Professionals (NALGEP).
In a plenary presentation at the conference, EPA Deputy Assistant Administrator Benjamin Grumbles cited the results of a recent EPA-sponsored research project on brownfields development entitled “Public Policies and Private Decisions Affecting the Redevelopment of Brownfields: An Analysis of Critical Factors, Relative Weights and Areal Differentials.” That project determined, among other things, that about 4.5 acres of undeveloped land would remain undeveloped for each acre of urban property that is redevelopment through the Brownfields Development program.
This same figure was quoted by President George Bush cited a in a January 11, 2002, speech accompanying his signing of H.R. 2869, the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act.
