Fact Sheets - Industrial

Find fact sheets highlighting industrial reuse. The fact sheets provide information about the reuse activities at the site, the site owner's planning and development process, geographic location, past cleanup activities, and contacts for more information. The fact sheets have been designed to be useful documents for site owners, future site users, prospective purchasers, lenders and developers. Sites are categorized depending on whether or not cleanup at the site is complete, and whether the site is already in reuse. Many sites that are in reuse can support additional use. In some cases, the previous use of these sites may make additional use even easier.
