Down in the Dumps? Redevelop!
By Douglas Gatrell, Gary Klepper and Peter T. Masson

Property formerly used as landfills or dumps is increasingly being redeveloped. Public interest in making new uses for these properties is forcing the issue of landfill reuse into prominence. When, where, how, and in some cases, if, such redevelopment should be pursued are questions being considered by property owners, developers and all levels of government. There are many relevant considerations for landfill redevelopment, including state regulation and/or support for such redevelopment.
