According to Michigan Public Act 381 of 1996, as amended, eligible costs typically can include environmental assessment, remediation and due care activities, demolition, infrastructure improvements, lead/asbestos abatement and site preparation. Potential benefits to developers who redevelop these sites are significant: *Reimbursement for environmental costs, demolition and infrastructure improvements, *Michigan Business Tax credit for a minimum of 12.5% of investment in property improvements, *Potential tax abatements for eligible projects and investments The St. Clair County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority will consider including privately-owned properties in its Brownfield Plan.
