Minnesota Brownfields was established in April 2006 and aims to serve as an advocate to promote the voluntary investigation, cleanup and redevelopment of brownfield sites throughout the state by:
- Facilitating interaction between interested parties, including property owners, government, community organizations, developers, attorneys, consultants and policy makers.
- Providing a venue/platform for the identification of brownfield redevelopment barriers and solutions.
- Removing obstacles to redevelopment of problematic brownfield properties in Minnesota by, for example, acting as a conduit for obtaining local, state, and federal sources of funding, taking title to property, or otherwise facilitating the investigation, cleanup, and redevelopment process as appropriate.
