Brownfields Redevelopment  Toolbox

Step 2 - Evaluation

The Evaluation Step provides the tools for determining the viability of the brownfields redevelopment project. This step summarizes: the market need; property valuation; site characterization; risk assessment; financial risks; governance structure, regulatory compliance, remedial options and public perception. Each brownfield property has its own risks and benefits that must be evaluated and assessed in terms of the local market drivers, such as economic, environmental, health and social.
