      abstract = {As the third paper in our three-part series on Wisconsin  brownfields, this paper reports the results of a survey on  the objectives of brownfields redevelopment, constraints to  the redevelopment, the role of the state's Department of  Natural Resources (DNR), and institutional controls. The  260 survey respondents include elected officials, staff  from economic development and planning agencies, attorneys,  private sector representatives, and professionals at  nonprofit organizations. We find that: 1) respondents value  both economic and environmental gains associated with  brownfields redevelopment; 2) the high costs of cleanup are  the principal barrier to brownfields redevelopment; 3) no  single factor stands out as constraining DNR's ability to  oversee cleanups; 4) owners are more likely to be aware of  institutional controls implemented through deed  restrictions than through an electronic registry; and 5)  attitudes regarding changes in DNR behavior along  dimensions of flexibility, fairness, knowledge, and  willingness to negotiate are more rather than less  positive.},
