Brownfields Redevelopment InterAgency Team

The Brownfields Redevelopment Interagency Team (BRIT), is made up of representatives of numerous state agencies and introduces projects to all affected state agencies and departments.

The BRIT enables and facilitates dialogue among the state, the municipality and the developer. This dialogue assists in identifying opportunities and obstacles, as well as applicable financial and technical assistance, early on in the planning process of a project so they may be addressed with minimal impact.
