Recent legislation and targeted financing programs have made the redevelopment of potentially contaminated commercial and industrial sites an attractive option for communities seeking to preserve disappearing open space and developers reluctant to risk exposure for someone else's site pollution. Hear about it from professionals who have walked the walk: Mr. Benrubi’s leadership of Glen Cove’s IDA and CDA waterfront and other revitalization projects resulted in its selection as a national "Brownfield Showcase Community," while Mr. Brooks, a former federal policy official, has advised Fortune 100 companies as well as local clients on the financial structuring of brownfields projects, and our "mystery guest: will talk about a recent regional brownfields project.
