NPCR works with all stakeholders to integrate community involvement in site remediation and redevelopment, ensuring a better result for developers and the community in NY's low and moderate income neighborhoods and communities of color. We catalyze government and industry to coordinate effective brownfields work with complex community development issues, adding value to properties as a result. NPCR’s initiatives create win-win situations for developers, local communities, and governments. NPCR is carrying out a multi-pronged initiative which was developed through on-the-ground work with community based groups, nonprofit and for-profit developers, environmental justice organizations, community lenders, and through nationwide research on innovative programs. Our objective is to provide the tools and capacity necessary to promote community-based productive re-use of brown fields.
