        •        Build on past brownfield redevelopment successes.
        •        Promote infill development that maximizes use of existing space, infrastructure and utilities.
        •        Remove redevelopment barriers by addressing unknown site conditions and creating shovel ready sites.
        •        Transform blighted areas into thriving neighborhoods.
        •        Protect public health and the environment.
        •        Promote public participation and input on priority redevelopment areas and sites. 
        •        Invest in sites that will generate public and private revenue.
