It is the policy of the Oregon Business Development Department to promote sustainability and assist rural or distressed communities with local development priorities. Facilitating environmental cleanup consistent with a polluter-pays principle and the redevelopment of brownfields furthers this policy. The benefits of redeveloping brownfields include promoting economic development; enabling efficient land use; minimizing the construction of new service infrastructure; facilitating the resolution of environmental justice issues; and protecting environmental and human health.
