What is OECs involvement in brownfields?
OEC coordinates the City’s official brownfields efforts and develops brownfields policy. We assist City agencies with brownfields issues generally, helping with community involvement, state/federal agency interactions, investigation, remediation, and end-use planning issues. OEC also facilitates the City’s participation in state and federal grant programs, provides information and assistance to community and business groups working on brownfields redevelopment, and represents the public sector on the executive committee of the New York State Chapter of the National Brownfields Association.
