Brownfield Redevelopment

Gilberti Stinziano Heintz & Smith, P.C. represents private developers, municipalities and public authorities participating in or seeking acceptance into the New York State Brownfields Cleanup Program (BCP) and provides advice on the availability of federal and state government funding for Brownfields redevelopment, including tax credits under the Brownfields Tax Credit Program.

Our attorneys have extensive experience with contaminated site remediation and redevelopment under federal and state Superfund legislation and the State Department of Environmental Conservation's (DEC) new Brownfields Cleanup Program.

We closely follow the ongoing development of regulations under this program and the prospects for any statutory revisions. We also understand the importance of community involvement in cleanup and redevelopment decisions.

Gilberti Stinziano Heintz & Smith, P.C. serves as environmental counsel for site cleanups under the New York State Voluntary Cleanup and Brownfields Cleanup Program, including petroleum and solvent contaminated former industrial sites located in mixed residential/commercial neighborhoods.

We have also successfully negotiated assignable town and village tax trust agreements resulting in multi-million dollar reductions in past and future property taxes; and negotiated resolutions to, or dismissals of, multiple federal and state legal actions involving the State of New York and local municipalities.
