常见问题

How can I get my property enrolled in the Program for an assessment?
联系 the 林奇堡市 Office of Economic Development to see if your property is a good candidate for this Program or other 重建 incentives available in the City.

What are brownfields located and what do they look like?
棕色地带 are usually concentrated in urban areas, but they can really be anywhere. They are typically abandoned or underutilized commercial or industrial sites, 比如生产设施, 仓库, 加油站, 机器商店, 以及干洗设施, 但它们甚至可以包括住宅物业, 在某一时刻, 可能使用了有害物质.

我拥有一块棕地吗?
也许. Ask yourself this: is my land or property vacant or less productive than it ought to be? 是否担心环境污染? If you answered yes to both questions, you may own a brownfield.

谁参与棕地重建?
Private and public organizations play a role in assessing, 清理和重建棕地. Key players include state and 联邦 environmental agencies, 经济发展和规划机构, 市民及社区团体, 商业银行, 技术顾问, 法律顾问, 地方政府机构, 开发人员, 投资者, 房地产专业人士.

有否鼓励棕地重建? 
是的. 除了直接的财政援助, 联邦, state and local tax incentives are available to property owners and 开发人员 to help reduce the costs of brownfield projects. Federal tax incentives include the Taxpayers Relief Act, which allows eligible taxpayers to deduct qualified cleanup expenses of brownfields in the year expenses are incurred, and rehabilitation income tax credits for 10% of the expenses of rehabilitating structures built before 1936.

清理要花多少钱?
影响清理成本的因素很多. 例如, if groundwater under the site is contaminated in addition to soil, 清理的成本可能要高得多. If the contaminated materials need to be transported off site for treatment, 这也会增加成本. The cost will also depend on standards that apply to the future use of the property. If a brownfield property is remediated to commercial use standards rather than residential standards, 清理成本通常会更低. The cost to the property owner of the cleanup will also be affected by whether there are other parties, 比如以前的业主, who may be potentially responsible for contamination and must share in cleanup costs.

清理需要多长时间?
清理将根据级别而有所不同, 类型, 量, 以及污染程度, 以及适用于现场的清理标准. A site with extensive soil or groundwater contamination cleaned up to residential standards will take longer than a site with minimal contamination that will be used for industrial purposes. Factors like time of year or unusually bad weather may also affect duration of cleanup.

社区利益是什么?
Many brownfield sites are located in unattractive, economically depressed parts of a neighborhood. Cleanup and 重建 of these sites encourages higher property values and creates jobs, 除了创造一个更安全的, 更清洁的, 更健康的商业和住宅空间.
