The objective of the City of Hamilton's Brownfields Redevelopment Program is to develop tools and methods to promote the reuse of Brownfield sites within our community. This initiative represents our efforts to remove barriers to redevelopment and foster additional incentives to establish creative pathways for the reuse of Brownfields.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency defines a Brownfield as, "Real property, where the expansion, redevelopment or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant."

The City of Hamilton's Brownfields program is overseen by a Brownfields Redevelopment Advisory Council. The Advisory Council is comprised of economic development experts, community/neighborhood representatives, members of the business community, and relevant city and county officials. The Advisory Council was established to oversee, advise and coordinate the Brownfields initiative, solicit community input so as to determine the need, priority and redevelopment strategies for these sites within our community.
