Article Abstract:

Start up companies who want to maximize their investments may try adopting brownfields as alternative industrial locations. Although brownfields pose clean up problems to buyers, they can actually be rewarded with cheap labor and reduced operating expenses in such sites. Unfortunately, investors have become reluctant in exploiting these sites due to lack of financial and technical support from the government's Superfund program.
