Abandoned industrial sites called brown fields—are all too common throughout the United States. Sitting vacant and unproductive, brown-fields do damage to their neighborhoods, foster crime, and burden taxpayers.
The Clinton-Gore Administration, acting on the concerns of mayors, citizens, and others, first created the Brownfield Initiative in 1994. This effort was reinforced in 1997 when Vice President Gore announced the Brown-fields National Partnership which offered communities both financial and technical assistance from more than 25 federal agencies and partners.
As part of the action, 16 Brown fields Showcase Communities were selected to serve as models of what can happen when all levels of government—working in partnership with business and community leaders focus their efforts.
The need for this action was clear: Brown-fields lay idle. At the same time millions of hectares of open space were being developed. This loss of land has environmental consequences. The Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) estimates that a parking lot generates 16 times more runoff than a meadow runoff that washes toxic chemical and other pollutants into our waters, lakes, and coastal areas, often making them unfit for wildlife and unsafe for families.
While this land was being paved over, hundreds of thousands of hectares of brown fields sat idle. A February report by the U.S. Conference of Mayors estimated that redeveloping brown-fields could bring in up to $2,400 million in tax revenue annually, create more than 550,000 new jobs, and take some of the development pressure off our farms and forests.
Under the Administration’s brown-fields effort, by the end of 1999, local communities had been provided with more than $385 million for brown-fields redevelopment and another $141 million in loan guarantees. In Dallas, one of the original showcase communities, some $1.9 million in financial and technical support helped attract $109 million in private investment and resulted in a new sports arena(竞技场) rising from a former brown-field.
Overall, the results of the brown fields effort have been astounding: for every dollar the federal, state and local governments put into revitalizing brown-fields, almost $2.50 in private investment was attracted.
