NCNBR and Senator Robert Menendez Hosted County Meeting

On September 22, Senator Robert Menendez welcomed members of New Jersey county government to a meeting at Rutgers to look ahead at their role in spurring redevelopment and encouraging sustainable strategies in the process. The National Center for Neighborhood and Brownfields Redevelopment and the New Jersey Association of Counties co-hosted this session for county freeholders, county improvement authorities and economic development directors.

The topic addressed the need to reuse properties that have historic uses as commercial and industrial and which may be eligible for brownfield remediation funding at either the state or federal level. These restored properties produce economic assets in the forms of ratables, add value to adjacent properties and generally improve the appearance and quality of life in their host neighborhoods.
