Initial ObservationsInitial Observations
Majority strongly agrees on community support issues– brownfield development must be consistent with the master
plan for the community (Q)
– community must be supportive of the proposed development (R)
Majority strongly disagrees on incorporation of residential development – not necessary to maximize residential space (K)
– the influx of new residents to to the community is not the greatest benefit (O)
Non-Pilot respondents place a stronger emphasis on cost minimization (C, D, E)
Statement A: It is important to minimize the time required to get the site back into productive reuse.
