What does this Strategy do for small, rural brownfield sites, such as an old gas station?
This Strategy will help to identify the extent of opportunity of such sites to prospective developers and increase the knowledge of tools to redevelop them. Through various funding and policy changes, the Strategy will help to lower risks and costs for addressing brownfield sites. Together, these efforts are intended to help shift the culture of development in BC to include brownfield redevelopment as common practice. The Strategy is intended to assist in creating market interest in brownfield sites where the current brownfield environment is not effective. Often times this will be small urban and rural areas.
