Public Service reuse of formerly contaminated properties refers to use of all or portion of a site by a local, county, or State governmental agency, or a non-profit organization. Reuse examples can include transportation (rail line, train station), libraries and schools, government buildings, and public infrastructure (roads, utilities, other Public Services).

In-depth case studies take a close start-to-finish look at how a site was returned to use, including a detailed discussion of barriers, strategies for overcoming barriers, key stakeholders, partnerships critical for moving a project forward, and resources secured to make reuse visions a reality.

Fact Sheets - Public Services

Find fact sheets highlighting public services 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.
