Brownfield Redevelopment: Using GIS to Identify Sites to Revitalize the Urban Core Author: Bryan Stewart 14775 St. Augustine Road Phone: (904) 642-8990 Increasingly, brownfield redevelopment has become an appealing government incentive program to assist in revitalizing vacant or underutilized contaminated sites in the urban core. GIS has been recognized as the perfect tool to assist in identifying these potential sites, determining contaminate impact, and marketing brownfield sites to potential investors via the Internet. This paper will demonstrate how the end user can use interactive search, analysis, and reporting tools to investigate contaminate history of specific sites and surrounding areas, historical information, occupancy status, land use, and value, as well as development potential through economic indicators such as income, population, and demographic trends. |
