NJDEP Brownfield Development Area (BDA) Virtual Workshop
January 24, 2024
NJ Department of Environmental Protection, Virtual

NJDEP’s Brownfield Development Area (BDA) program is a voluntary partnership between municipalities, stakeholders and the NJDEP Office of Brownfield and Community Revitalization to work closely together to re-purpose abandoned or underutilized contaminated “brownfield” properties. The BDA program partners with diverse communities affected by multiple brownfield sites to identify technical and financial resources to help design and implement investigation, remediation, and reuse plans for these properties in a coordinated manner, so blighted brownfield properties can be remediated and redeveloped in a timely manner.

In partnership with NJIT TAB this virtual workshop provided information on:

  1. How your municipality would benefit from being designated as a Brownfield Development Area
  2. How other municipalities have benefited from a BDA designation
  3. The components of the BDA application
  4. How to obtain free technical assistance in transforming your brownfields into community assets
