RE: [CPEO-BIF] Questions and concerns?

[dnilsen@ci.coralville.ia.us]

Ms. Coffins's point is well taken, but a point to be made about social
justice is that redevelopment in the most desperate areas is hindered by
much more than real or perceived environmental impairments.  Greenfields in
many of the most desperate neighborhoods may never get developed. Remember
that major redevelopment is often coupled with gentrification and other
social justice issues.    

As far as Demonstration pilots are concerned, the EPA has chosen to
demonstrate that brownfield redevelopment can be successful in generating
sustainable industry; creating case studies that municipalities and decision
makers can cite in creating policies to further clean up additional sites.
i.e.. the Unanimously approved Senate Bill, which will provide additional
funds and opportunities for communities to address a greater number of
brownfields.
