is a general term used to describe abandoned or under-utilized
industrial properties. Massachusetts is committed to the cleanup and
redevelopment of Brownfields properties as a way to stimulate the
economy and promote environmental protection goals. These properties
are typically abandoned or for sale or lease, and have a commercial
and/or industrial history. GREEN has provided a wide range of
assessment and remediation services for clients redeveloping

Properties; assisting Brownfields Developers with obtaining funding for
environmental assessment and/or remediation; conducting assessment
and/or remediation at Brownfield Sites for the interested party; and
providing technical assistance to buyers to help to limit their
