In response to the success of, and the feedback we received about, our annual Brownfield Renewal Awards, we are expanding the Awards Program. Beginning in 2012, there will be FIVE categories of Renewal Awards.
In addition to the original three categories:
Environmental impacts
Economic impacts
Social impacts
We have added two new categories:
Sustainability impacts
Brownfields for Energy/Brownfield to "Brightfield"
Renewal Award nominations can be submitted through Friday, June 15, 2012, culminating in the selection of five esteemed winners in October 2012. Awards will be presented to projects that represent the gold standard of development across the FIVE distinct industry spheres of influence
The Renewal Awards selection process will continue to be carried out by an independent panel of judges. The Awards program is supremely democratic, as any individual, group, company, organization, government body or agency is eligible to submit an application. These projects can encompass:
Private enterprise
Public facilities
Industrial reuse of a brownfields site
Environmental restoration.
We invite you to provide input on the characteristics that made your project so impactful, so difference-making. For your convenience, we've compiled a host of questions within each of the five categories. The insights you provide will duly assist the judges in selecting the Renewal Award winners. In order to be considered for a Brownfield Renewal Award, the brownfield redevelopment project MUST be completed by the date the application is submitted. We welcome your participation!
Please enter your name and contact information so we can contact you, if needed, regarding this nomination.
"I was struck by the dogged determination shown by the communities and the developers in the Renewal Awards finalist projects. These communities did not give up the dream of redeveloping their brownfields and this was shown by their creativity and financial commitments. The developers were gutsy to have a vision and tackle the intricacies of making their visions a reality. This translated into winning combinations."

First, the benefits to the municipality were immense. The project utilized 20 acres of downtown, waterfront, former industrial land that posed numerous high level risks to the community and transformed that land into a state-of-the-art middle school campus providing a vastly improved educational environment to the City for generations of students to come.

The Bayaud Street site had a long history of economic production dating back over a hundred years to the time that Denver's economy was dominated by mining and mineral processing.

In Michigan, some are predicting a better business climate for redevelopment and regulatory closure of contaminated properties thanks to a bill Michigan Governor Rick Snyder was scheduled to sign last week. The new regulations should have a positive impact on commercial real estate development and brownfields redevelopment resulting in the creation of jobs.
A property located on a bank of the East River and in a densely developed residential and commercial area, had its work cut out for it from an environmental remediation standpoint. The mission was to clean up the land and ultimately make one puzzle piece to a larger urban revitalization project that would be redeveloped as a public library and park ranger station.
