Envision Utah, Brownfield Brownfield Redevelopment Redevelopment Solutions Solutions Working with a stakeholder group, Envision Utah has
developed a multi-disciplinary tool to expedite the land redevelopment process without sacrificing
environmental and land-use standards. Envision Utah's newly designed tool, Brownfield Redevelopment
Solutions, guides the reader step-by-step through a typical brownfield redevelopment process, citing local
examples and other beneficial resources. This toolbox will serve as a resource not only for those new to
brownfield redevelopment, but also as a reference for professionals with years of experience. The American
Express Center for Community Development and the United States Environmental Protection Agency provided
funding for this resource. http://www.envisionutah.org/Brownfield%20Redevelopment%20Toolbox.pdf

State of New Jersey, Abandoned Abandoned Abandoned Building Building Rehabilitation Rehabilitation Act Act Reforms New Jersey laws dealing with the
acquisition of abandoned properties for purposes of redevelopment.
� Gives a clear and comprehensive definition of what constitutes abandoned property.
� Restructures tax foreclosure process enabling municipalities to accelerate acquisition of properties
for redevelopment to make them available to appropriate parties.
� Provides for vacant property receivership, referred to as “possession,” allowing for a judicial
process by which a municipality or designated agent can gain control of abandoned property
through courts for the purpose of rehabilitation or sale to an appropriate end user.
� Makes eminent domain easier to use by municipalities on abandoned properties.
The statute also requires that appraisers of such abandoned properties analyze the cost to rehabilitate or
reuse the property according to zoning and planning municipal standards and the market value after
rehabilitation. If the cost exceeds the market value, there is “rebuttable presumption that the value of the
property, and the compensation due the owner is zero.” http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/legis/2003c210.pdf
