What is the NYC Brownfield Partnership?
The NYC Brownfield Partnership is a voluntary association of brownfield stakeholders consisting principally of environmental consulting firms, environmental law organizations, environmental remediation contracting organizations, brownfield development organizations, and community-based organizations (Member Organizations) that conduct brownfield activities in New York City communities. The NYC Brownfield Partnership (Partnership) was initiated to provide services and benefits to New York City communities and residents and promote sustainable brownfield management in New York City.
The mission of the Partnership is:
- To promote better citizen understanding of investigation and remediation work plans and reports;
- To promote the training and development of the next generation of environmental professionals and leaders from New York City high schools, colleges, and universities;
- To promote the training of unskilled workers from targeted New York City communities to develop locally derived labor to serve the brownfield cleanup industry;
- To promote the creation and development of small businesses in New York City communities that serve the brownfield industry;
- To promote the broader purpose of brownfield management through public awareness and education.
By joining the Partnership, a member organization agrees to make a substantial effort to provide a series of benefits to New York City communities on an annual basis. Currently, there are five primary community benefit programs and an annual brownfield award program that are administered by the Partnership.
