Approved Information: 2.1.1 Brownfield Inventory (10 points) 2.1.2 Create a map (5 points)
Supporting Documentation:
Partners: 2.1.1 None 2.1.2 None
Additional Information: Due to the Town of Fairfield's relatively robust and high priced real estate market, there are no substantial Brownfields within the limits of the Town. Fairfield has been aggressive towards actively making sure property owners are compliant with back taxes so that perceived contaminated sites are not allowed to become Brownfields under the general EPA definition. The Town continues to contribute to the regional Brownfields Working Group/Economic Development Technical Advisory Committee that was established by the Regional Planning Agency (METROCOG) in order to establish a regional response to Brownfield issues and funding. METROCOG has received several EPA assessment grants and a Revolving Loan Fund grant that are available for regional Brownfield projects, as needed. Fairfield has not been able to identify a Brownfield project that would be able to utilize the existing regional grant funding due to the lack of Brownfields that meet EPA related eligibility. Fairfield continues to monitor the current real estate market to make sure that Town is strongly positioned to intervene if and when a situation in which government intervention will prevent a situation where a Brownfield could create a negative impact on the local grand list.
