Who Are We?
Many small communities in rural West Virginia do not have the staff or technical expertise to undertake brownfields redevelopment projects on their own. The Northern and Southern Brownfields Assistance Centers were created to empower communities to plan and implement brownfields redevelopment projects.
The Northern West Virginia Brownfields Assistance Center, Housed at West Virginia University's Water Research Institute, serves the State's northern 33 counties, while the Brownfields Assistance Center at Marshall University, house within the Center for Environmental, Geotechnical, and Applied Sciences, serves the Southern 22 counties.
