Our Work

The National Brownfields Coalition is jointly managed by Smart Growth America and the Center for Creative Land Recycling. The Coalition raises awareness about, as well as develops and advocates for policies and practices that support the remediation and redevelopment of brownfields nationwide. The Coalition pursues collaborative efforts that:

  • Advocates for federal legislation that authorizes and funds brownfields cleanup and redevelopment like The Brownfields Redevelopment Tax Incentive Reauthorization Act of 2023 
  • Supports the improvement of federal environmental liability regulations;
  • Convenes national leaders in brownfield cleanup and reuse regularly to increase their expertise, leadership, and relationships on important brownfield policy topics.
