Brownfields as Places
The Nine Mile Run site is 18 stories of steel industry waste dumped on 240 acres over 50 years. The site features two broad slag plateaus split by a slag valley and an urban stream. As the development team struggles with issues relative to the site grading, the surrounding community is currently organizing on the basis of three issues: toxicity, traffic, and housing value. This article will contrast the standard liability assessment against a qua…
