At issue\, is how potential contamination migh t cause human and environmental harm\, triggering an often-costly clean-u p. While brownfield responses should require an immediate focus on human and environmental health\, the economic impacts often drive clean-up effo rts. Thus\, economic considerations primarily determine future property u se.\n\n\nAt the local level\, brownfield redevelopment projects in many c ommunities have become routine\; a growing part of a larger revitalizatio n strategy. Noxious sites are cleaned and replaced by attractive\, new de velopment. A former warehouse sector becomes a mix of commercial and resi dential spaces.\n\n\nGenerally\, brownfields are no longer a major barrie r to redevelopment. Yet many brownfields remain unaddressed in low-resour ced\, communities where the capacity to market brownfields properties rem ains limited. Attracting private investment can prove a daunting task for any municipality struggling with the challenges associated with brownfie ld properties. For smaller\, disadvantaged communities the challenges can become unsurmountable. Dr. Coffin will present work she has done in this area\, focusing on how low-resourced communities can create their own re development tools.\n\n\nDr. Sarah L. Coffin\, originally from Cleveland\, Ohio\, is an associate professor and program director of the Master of S cience in Urban Planning and Development at Saint Louis University. She h as an extensive background in brownfield research\, publishing work that examines the impacts of brownfields\, vacant properties\, and more recent ly development incentives on weak market economies. Dr. Coffin also spent two years at the University of Louisville working for the U.S. EPA's Env ironmental Finance Center\, Region 4\, as a post-doctoral researcher. Whi le there\, she developed a brownfield information system for the Metro Lo uisville Government's brownfield program. She holds a Ph.D. in City and R egional Planning from the Georgia Institute of Technology\, a Master's in Urban Planning Design and Development from the Maxine Goodman Levin Coll ege of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University\, and a B.S. in Busine ss Administration from Lake Erie College.
