New York Brownfield Cleanup Program

active with delays

The Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) in New York incentivizes private parties to clean up polluted industrial and commercial sites in exchange for tax credits, liability relief, and technical support. The program aims to make contaminated sites suitable for redevelopment and restore them to productive use. However, an audit found significant delays in remediation efforts, with some projects active for over a decade, posing potential threats to public health and the environment.
