Using Geospatial Indicators to Guide Decisions for Brownfield Assessment and Redevelopment
Geospatial indicators provide a consistent set of metrics to inform Brownfield assessment and redevelopment decisions at both the local and state level. Indicators are mappable data layers that can be shared with local, state, and federal partners and incorporated into GIS applications. In this session, speakers from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR) will demonstrate the collaborative process of indicator selection and application, highlight case study examples that implement the indicator method, and provide space for brainstorming additional uses that address challenges for other local and state-level programs.
