What is the Brownfields Coalition?

The Jacksonville Brownfields Coalition is an ad hoc advisory group serving the city's Brownfields Initiative. The coalition is comprised of volunteer members (listed below) from a broad spectrum of the community including environmental consultants and attorneys, local and state regulatory agencies, economic development agencies, other government officials, citizen groups, non-profits, colleges and universities, commercial lenders, real estate brokers, private industry and concerned citizens. Public outreach is a key part of the coalition's communication strategy to educate, inform, and receive feedback and input from Jacksonville citizens.
