The April edition of Township News highlights the innovative steps communities have taken to redevelop their brownfields in From Fixer Upper to Fabulous, Communities Redevelop Brownfields To Produce Jobs, Tax Revenues and More.

The article by managing editor Jill Ercolino shows examples of how townships all over the state have turned contaminated and deserted properties into thriving businesses, recreation areas and made them available for housing.

Born Again: Brownfields also provides an outline of the state and federal process for redeveloping brownfields and where communities can get help.
