Revitalization-Ready Guide - Chapter 2: Community Needs and Concerns

Community Needs and Concerns

Identifying community needs and concerns provides an understanding of the physical, social, economic and environmental context of neighborhoods adjacent to a brownfield property through the eyes of individuals who live there. It is a two-way process to gather information and enhance decision-making. The process is designed to strengthen the connectedness and increase the capacity of the community by encouraging the residents of the neighborhood to get involved in the process. Stakeholder involvement is crucial to creating a knowledge bridge between the project team and the neighborhoods.
