Revitalizing Southeastern Communities
Working with Non-Federal Partners
Brownfields success is about people. Localities most successful in brownfields revitalization have set
up brownfields teams that include local leaders, a brownfields champion, and a cross-sector team of
public and private supporters. A local brownfields team can bring together the cross-disciplinary skills
necessary to address these complex environmental, economic and social challenges. In addition, the
establishment of the right team helps ensure that the community's brownfields initiatives are sustained
beyond the expiration of EPA's brownfields grant funding or other start-up funding that launched these
programs.
The themes highlighted within this toolkit section include:
« Involving the Community;
Partnerships with Non-profit Organizations;
Working with Universities & University Finance Centers; and
¦ Working with the Private Sector & Understanding Private Sector Concerns
