Brownfields are properties in which redevelopment or reuse is complicated by the presence of hazardous materials, pollution, or contaminants.
Check out the Virginia Brownfields Dashboard! This dashboard is intended to promote redevelopment and revitalization of Brownfields across the Commonwealth. There are thousands of opportunities across Virginia, including over 100,000 acres of previously mined lands. The dashboard was developed in collaboration with the Virginia Department of Energy (Virginia Energy).
Cleaning up and reinvesting in these properties utilizes existing infrastructure, reduces development of undisturbed open land, facilitates job growth, increases local tax bases and both improves community aesthetics while protecting the environment.
DEQ works closely with property owners to turn these contaminated properties back to productive use across Virginia. Using innovative approaches to resolving problems, the agency works to safely clean up, transform and sustainably reuse these underutilized properties.
