The Pima County Brownfields Program
Purpose and Background

Program Purpose and Background:

 

The purpose of the Pima County Brownfields Program is to take advantage of available federal, state, and local resources to promote brownfields redevelopment activities. This will be accomplished by analyzing the distribution, quantity, and conditions of brownfields sites in Pima County. A fuller understanding of these potential brownfields sites will encourage the reuse of these abandoned, deteriorated, and underutilized properties into productive and viable land uses facilitating community and economic revitalization in targeted areas. The program will foster a broad economic and community development strategy for Pima County and is designed to complement existing and proposed redevelopment initiatives. The Pima County Brownfields Program will place emphasis on addressing brownfields sites as a mechanism to:

 

• Establish, implement and expand upon a successful Pima County Brownfields Program.

 

• Utilize and pursue available brownfields resources to facilitate and expand economic development opportunities specifically focusing in Pima County Community Development Target Areas and established Infill Incentive Districts.

 

• Engage, educate and foster active and interested communities within Pima County to partner and pursue available brownfields resources.

 

• Continue to work closely with other brownfields programs within Southern Arizona to develop a more regional approach to brownfields redevelopment.
