The primary goals of the Brownfield Redevelopment Act (BRA) are to reduce public health and environmental hazards on existing commercial and industrial sites that are abandoned or underused due to these hazards; create financial and regulatory incentives to encourage voluntary cleanup and redevelopment of sites; derive cleanup target levels and a process for obtaining a "No Further Action" letter using Risk-Based Corrective Action principles; and provide the opportunity for Environmental Equity and Justice.
 
To qualify for the incentives offered through the BRA, a property must be officially designated a Brownfield via Resolution by the local governing entity. The applicants (owners) of all three properties are requesting the properties be designated as a brownfield in order to capture economic incentives offered through the State for voluntarily remediating existing environmental impacts on the subject properties. These sites meet the requirements as a brownfield as per Chapter 376.80 F.S. The applicants will not be requesting any local funding but will use the designation to apply for incentives available through the State Brownfield Redevelopment Program.
