urban land areas that once supported industry or commerce but were abandoned and are presently unused and may be contaminated with industrial waste
Industrial properties suspected or known to be polluted during their past use are called brownfields.
Abandoned, idled, or underused industrial and commercial properties where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived contamination. These areas are eligible for the Brownfields Tax Incentive Deduction.
Abandoned or underused urban areas in which redevelopment is blocked by liability or financing issues related to toxic contamination.
Refers to property in which the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
post-industrial sites; abandoned or degraded sites, left over from industry
abandoned or unused industrial and commercial land that cannot be developed or expanded because of real or perceived contamination with toxic substances.
Sites that are underutilized or not in active use, on land that is either contaminated or perceived as contaminated.
abandoned, idled, or under used industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. Brownfields can be located in urban, suburban, and rural areas. (Kirk's definition)
Contaminated land typically located in an urban area.
Idle facilities where expansion or redevelopment is made difficult by environmental contamination.
Abandoned, idled, or underused industrial and commercial properties where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by actual or suspected environmental contamination.
Abandoned or underutilized properties where development is complicated by real or perceived contamination.
Abandoned, idled, or under used industrial and commercial facilities/sites where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. They can be in urban, suburban, or rural areas. EPA's Brownfields initiative helps communities mitigate potential health risks and restore the economic viability of such areas or properties.

This is a general term used for sites that have been developed in the past that may or may not be contaminated. Sustainable economic development strategies encourage the beneficial reuse of these sites, even though this may be more expensive than building or developing (new, to date undeveloped) Greenfield sites.
