The Northeast-Midwest Institute: Center for Policy Initiatives is a superb source of brownfield information. Though their information tends to focus on their geographic footprint, the ideas and updates are certainly something that the Southern states should consider and be apprised of. Their December issue of the Brownfields Policy and Research Newsletter featured: the latest congressional news (HUD Brownfields Programs revived and bolstered through appropriations); smart growth home location research; car plant reuse case studies; new EPA funding available under the Community Action for Renewed Environment Program, NEMW research published on the "Quantifying the Environmental and Energy Conservation Benefits of the Maryland Historic Tax Credit Program;" and grants issued under New Jersey's innovative Brownfields Development Areas Initiative, which is one potential model for federal support of brownfields area and corridor planning.
