Revitalization-Ready Workbook

As a companion to the Revitalization-Ready Guide, the Revitalization-Ready Workbook is intended to support and facilitate your community’s decisions surrounding assessing, cleaning up and reusing underutilized and/or abandoned properties that may be contaminated. The Workbook is designed to help you collect, input, and consolidate important site information to support your local economic, equitable and environmental reuse goals.

Generally, the Workbook is a series of worksheets that follow a process based on a typical property appraisal approach. The information gathered via the worksheets will shed light on the strengths and weaknesses of a particular parcel of land, allowing your community to determine which potential site reuses are legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible and maximally productive.

Please note that the Revitalization-Ready Workbook cannot replace a formal property appraisal or financial analysis.
