About Brownfields

The Connecticut Brownfields Redevelopment Authority (CBRA) was formed in 1999 at the direction of the Connecticut State Legislature ( Public Act 01-179) to create and administer programs that will bring about the remediation and economic redevelopment of the state’s many contaminated industrial sites.  The CBRA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Connecticut Development Authority. CBRA is a self-sustaining, quasi-public entity.  In an evolving process, the CBRA has thus developed programs that encourage brownfields redevelopment by providing financing and assisting in the navigation of the agency/regulatory process.   

In 2001, the CBRA completed the first-ever inventory of the state’s brownfield sites.  Review our current list of sites.
