Brownfield Redevelopment Interagency Team Mission (BRIT)

BRIT’s mission is to streamline and coordinate the brownfields redevelopment process for interested parties, guided by New Jersey’s Smart Growth policies and practices.BRIT is a brownfield resource group comprised of 20 state agencies and programs. Redevelopment projects get individually reviewed by BRIT in an informal, problem-solving atmosphere. Incentives are bundled and tailored to each unique project. Brownfield programs and practices are improved upon through this partnering process. This can shave years off a project. BRIT also serves as the state partner with the NJ Brownfield Redevelopment Task Force on brownfield policy issues.
