A brownfield is abandoned, used real estate. The
term was coined to identify sites with environmental problems;
therefore, purchasers, occupiers, developers beware. Economic
development
representatives of locations that
have brownfield challenges are expected to be on the lookout for opportunities
to turn things around. Many
places with brownfields seek political solutions to
get rid of related negative factors. The local economic development challenges
become brownfield redevelopment as industrial
enterprises abandon locations and leave their used real estate behind as
a community problems for communities to handle. A lot of places in the
US that once enjoyed industrial development but are now part of its
so-called rust
belt seem to be inclined to seek government welfare as political
solutions to job-losses (see the definition of job
welfare). It can be
said that the opposite
brownfield is greenfield.
