Social and Economic Impactsof Brownfield Redevelopment in Florida
New Analytical Tools to Assess the State and Tribal Response Program
Christian Wells
Our mission is to leverage interdisciplinary scientificexpertise at the University of South Florida to informoutcome-driven research on environmental toxicants,land use legacies, community health, environmentaljustice, and sustainable and equitable development.
EPA and DEP would like to better understand the impacts of SRP funding provided to eligible communities who have demonstrated a need for funding assistance for assessment and remediation work.
This project evaluates and recommends options for determining social and economic impacts associated with redeveloped brownfield sites across Florida where cleanup activities were funded under the SRP Grant.

Recommendations for Future Development
• future study of which specific layers might be most useful and adding those to the Operational Layers menu for ease of access
• add new widgets to the Atlas that can allow decision makers access to easily identifiable information regarding changes to a redeveloped property, such as in the form of pop-up charts and related media
• additional SRP grantee sites be visited and that a formal survey tool be developed to capture the same kind of information consistently from each site
• comprehensive analysis of all sites to explore relationships between redevelopment and social and economic change, as indicated through multiple regression analysis or other similar multivariate quantitative techniques
