- 21. 21 How do I go about redeveloping? • Inventory your properties and determine which might be suitable for redevelopment: – Ownership – Condition – Location, Location, Location • What is missing in your community? What do citizens want?
- 22. 22 • Are there services that they drive out of the area that your community could potentially provide? • If you do decide to take ownership, do a phase I assessment done to AAI standards first. This is one of the factors that makes you eligible for grant funding. Otherwise, you are not eligible.
- 23. 23 • If there are interested parties who wants to start a business, work with them to help redevelop the property. • Incentives and programs are available through the state and federal government to help with the environmental issues at a property. • What other incentives are available though economic development, historic preservation, etc.?
- 24. 24 If you are serious about redevelopment, start a program • Identify stakeholders in the redevelopment process • Form a Brownfield Assistance Team (B.A.T.) that can answer any of their questions • If your community has a website, create a page with all the information that they need to redevelop in your community and start a business.

Editor's Notes
- Does your Community have these types of buidlings? Old Schools, Hospitals, Factories, Theatres, etc. They are the cringe worthy buildings in your community, but many of them have great architecture and sturdy bones.
- Adaptive reuse is the process of adapting old structures for purposes other than those initially intended. When the original use of a structure changes or is no longer required, as with older buildings from the industrial era, you have the opportunity to change the primary function of the structure, while retaining some of the existing architectural details that make the building unique. For instance, in local communities, unused schools or Post Office buildings have been adapted for reuse as retail stores or offices. Adaptive reuse covers a wide range of urban areas and building types. Reuse, readaptation, reappropriation of existing or built structures has remote historical precedents. In antiquity, durable, sturdy structures of stone and masonry outlived empires and often changed purpose many times. In modernity, the desire to preserve historical buildings and neighborhoods emerged in many Western countries out of various romanticist, nationalistic, and historicist streams. Today, the imperative to extend the life cycle of a structure is related to various sustainability goals: sprawl minimization, preservation of virgin materials, and energy conservation. Also, many Western cities are changing dramatically as industrial operations more often than not move to the South and the East leaving massive, sturdy buildings vacant. Institutional nature is also changing with many old hospitals, sanatoriums, military buildings, and even office blocks becoming redundant. AR becomes a means to revitalize urban life and declining neighborhoods. (from MIT Greening East Campus) Adaptive reuse, along with brownfield reclamation, is seen by many as a key factor in land conservation and reducing the amount of sprawl. For those who prescribe to the smart growth concept, it is more efficient and environmentally responsible to redevelop older buildings closer to urban cores than it is to build new construction on faraway greenfield sites. Adaptive reuse is also related to the field of historic preservation. However adaptive reuse can become controversial as there is sometimes a blurred line between renovation, facadism and adaptive reuse. It can be regarded as a compromise between historic preservation and demolition. Adaptive reuse is a cradle to cradle concept. Meaning it is a sustainable system in which once something has lived it first useful life, it is recreated into something else. In other words, it’s sustainability. It is a holistic economic, industrial and social framework that seeks to create systems that are not just efficient but essentially waste free.[1] It is often heard of in terms of manufacturing but it can be applied to many different aspects of human civilization such as urban environments, buildings, economics and social systems.
- Infrastructure; The more that we build out, the more services we have to provide to a larger area. As we expand, we have to provide more sewer lines, more public roads, utilities, schools and transportation. These costs add up over time and have a continuing price tag due to maintenance.
- Sprawl- Keeps your city manageable Greenspace- People love greenspace so redeveloping these properties not only help preserve greenspaces on the edge of town, but allows you the possibility of putting in greenspace where it did not exist.
- History Beginning in the 18th century, many growers and shippers of Virginia's major cash-crop of tobacco maintained facilities in Richmond. Substantial multi-story brick buildings were constructed to protect the contents from loss due to fire. During the American Civil War (1861–1865), Tobacco Row was the site of infamous Libby Prison and nearby Castle Thunder, detention facilities of the Confederate government. In 1925, WRVA radio, owned by Larus and Brother tobacco company, went on the air, broadcasting from a studio located in a corner of their House of Edgeworth warehouse, with a tower mounted on the roof of the building. Adaptive Reuse The area was vacated by the tobacco companies by the late 1980s. Following completion of Richmond's James River Flood Wall in 1995. Many of the old warehouses of Tobacco Row were modernized and converted into developments of loft apartments, condominiums, offices, and retail space along part of the restored canal system. One of the warehouses is home to the Virginia Holocaust Museum. Revitalization has really taken hold. There are several areas in Downtown Richmond, including Shockoe Bottom, Shockoe Slip, the River District, Belle Isle, Monroe Ward, Manchester, Jackson Ward, Main Street, Court End, Tobacco Row, and the Canal Walk.
- Pratt Street Power Plant, also known as the Pier Four Power Plant is a historic power plant located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Pratt Street Power Plant was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1] The building and history as a power plant It was built between 1900 and 1909 and is a massive industrial structure with Neo-Classical detailing designed by the noted architectural firm of Baldwin & Pennington. It served as the main source of power for the United Railways and Electric Company. It later served as a central steam plant for the Consolidated Gas, Electric Light and Power Company, a predecessor of the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company . The plant, with obsolescent equipment, was used sparingly until it was returned to service to meet the World War II production demand for electricity. New Use The Power Plant's tenants have included ESPN Zone, Hard Rock Cafe (opened July 4, 1997), Barnes & Noble, Gold's Gym and loft offices. Maryland Art Place, a contemporary art gallery for Maryland artists, is located in the northwest corner. It lends its name to the nearby Power Plant Live! nightlife complex. Cordish also developed the adjacent Pier IV building, whose tenants include various restaurants.
- Once a gas station, this popular restaurant serves up great breakfasts, lunches and brunches.
- Lower Town Paducah and its artist relocation program has been a model for others. Creative way to get people to move to beautiful downtown properties that sit vacant- Many properties on Broadway. Increase the tax base and can serve as a tourist attraction. Homes/buildings available as low as $1. It requires and application process. Not sure how this has done since the stat of the recession.
- Manchester St. is Lexington was the home of distilleries through much of the cities history.
- Today it is the home of blight and dilapidated buidliings. It has great bones, it just needs some work and some polish.
- They are planning for Lofts apartments, entertainment venues and museums are planned for this area. They also plan to reconnect citizens with Town Branch Trail via adjacent walking paths. Historically we have rerouted and disturbed our bodies of water for development. Many of our nastiest properties are along rivers and streams because of water access and transportation. There is a definite trend to redevelop these areas and make them more attractive for residential and commercial use. Funding Plans for redevelopment and the area is included in two Brownfield EPA grants that the city has received so there is some money to help remove some of the uncertainty of the buildings. They have been approved for TIF financing. This area is also part of the city’s brownfield grant redevelopment area. So there are resources there.
- The gas station on the next slide is quite notable. Now is a great time to talk about cleanups in KY. You cleanup will depend on what is there, how much is there, if there is groundwater and how the constituents move through the soils. There are basically four options: A cleanup may not be necessary- there may be no contamination or it is at acceptable levels. You can manage it in place You can remove contaminated soil and dispose of it at an appropriate landfill. Any combination of the first three options….
- We have an equivalent to the Oscars in the BF workd, it’s called the Phoenix award (like the bird that rises from the ashes, so do BF properties). A couple of years ago a community turned a small gas station into a tiny visitors bureau and became one of the Phoenix award winners that year. Rosalia's 1923 Texaco (which was placed on the State and National Register in 2006 following a EPA Brownfield cleanup) and now serves at the Rosalia Visitor Resource and Interpretive Center for the Steptoe Battlefield State ParkRead more: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/destination-hunter/north-america/united-states/west/washington/washington-landmarks-points-of-interest.html#ixzz1S0J3X8YP The abandoned gas station, which once was contaminated with petroleum from leaking underground tanks, is now 90 percent cleaned up, restored and serving a very different purpose.
- Shipping containers as houses.
- The repurposed site has worked wonders for the area's tourism industry, attracting an average of 600,000 visitors a year This plant was never put into commission, so it is clean.

- Former rail station becomes an youth and art center.
- Petco park that houses San Diego Padres uses the Western Metal Supply Co. Building to house restaurants, gift shops, luxury rental suites all while serving as the ballpark’s left field foul pole. This is also a Phoenix award winner.
- A project that has been over 12 years in the making added an impressive accomplishment to its history on June 8th, 2011. The High Line, a New York City public park that was built on the remains of an elevated railroad track, added its second public section that day, bringing the total completed length of the park to one mile. Railways are eligible for brownfield funding. There are many railways across the Country that are great for rails to trails projects. Papa John’s Stadium in Louisville, also a Phoenix Award winner, is actually setting on a former rail yard. Much of the contamination is managed in place with clay caps. They are also continuing to remove contamination on a regular basis, so it is continually being managed.
- Absent owners are a big issue. Get public input. It is a vital in dealing with these properties.
- It takes a village to redevelop a property. Recruit our help with this.
- BAT- Helps take the frustration out of the process. Government tends to not be responsive.
- Taking a passive approach to brownfield redevelopment.
