Cleaning Up Brownfields To Bring Redevelopment To The Coast

WLOX
Biloxi, MS

Aug 12, 2007 

People came out to the Faith Tabernacle church in Biloxi to learn about
redeveloping blighted areas in their communities, more specifically
Brownfields.

"A Brownfield is that piece of property in your community that for whatever
reason just cannot seemed to be redeveloped," says Trey Hess.

The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) says it could be
environmental issues or negative perceptions of the property that may keep
it from being redeveloped. Bishop James Black, of the Biloxi-based Center
for Environmental and Economic Justice is concerned about lost economic
development from brownfield properties being overlooked.
