While I do not have specific information concerning your question (e.g., lenders, insurance companies), I would suggest that a good start would be looking at Netscape, which built its headquarters in Mountain View on a Superfund site known as MEW. Also, several years ago, EPA Region IX conducted workshops at the Tucson International Airport Superfund site with the intent to encourage development and stop a decline in property values. Craig Cooper was the RPM at the time and he may be a good resource.
