HARTFORD, CT -- A new study recommends an initial $250 million, five-year
state investment for cleaning and redeveloping polluted properties known as
brownfields.

This $250 million would finance loans, grants and tax incentives to entice
local governments, developers and businesses to put money into redevelopment
efforts.

"Brownfields can be a large-scale industrial complex or a small gas station
site," said Gary B. O'Connor, a Waterbury attorney and co-chairman of the
state task force that prepared the brownfields study.

The group presented its recommendations to the legislature's commerce and
environment committees Thursday.
