Through our network of clients, alliance partners and real estate and financial contacts, we often become aware of potential Brownfield sites.   The following are among the sites with which we are familiar that offer potential for redevelopment.  Some are true Brownfield sites, where past site uses must be considered during development.  Others are merely located near sites where prior activities may have adversely affected the environment.

If you have been unable to develop or sell your environmentally impaired property or to obtain regulatory site closure, we may be able to help. If you have identified a prime site for your next development, but the site includes some environmental challenges and you are uncertain on how to proceed, SCS may be able to help. If you are a lender and are unwilling to foreclose on a property because of the fear of going on title of a contaminated property, we may be able to help.

• To receive a confidential, no obligation review of your site as a candidate for redevelopment, or 
• To obtain our preliminary thoughts on strategies for achieving regulatory closure on a site, or
• To submit information on a site to be listed on our Brownfield Bulletin Board, please submit the appropriate details to service@scsengineers.com.

The reader is invited to contact any of the points of contact listed to obtain further information.  Users are advised that information is posted based at least in part upon data furnished by others, and we are not responsible for the accuracy of information listed below.
