Brownfield sites are abandoned, idled or underused industrial and commercial properties where there is real or perceived contamination that is inhibiting the redevelopment of that property.

Prior to the Land Recycling Act in 1992 (and subsequent revisions), redevelopment of Brownfield sites was uncommon as many potential buyers/developers were concerned that they would be responsible for the contamination that they knew, or thought was there. The Land Recycling Act changed that by formalizing a voluntary cleanup process and the associated liability assurances that are available today. In Minnesota, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) leads the Brownfields Program.
