      abstract = {Given the increased focus on reuse activity within EPA and  state site cleanup programs, policy makers would benefit  from looking across programs to better understand the  extent and nature of reuse; examine site characteristics  that influence reuse; leverage lessons learned; and  coordinate reuse activities, data collection, and  information management. This research paper begins to  examine these issues. It reports the results of a  preliminary review and analysis of available EPA and state  program data on the extent and nature of reuse and factors  influencing site reuse. Numerous factors can influence the  reuse potential of contaminated sites. Characteristics  include on-site factors (e.g., site size and configuration,  prior use, type and extent of contamination), as well as  off-site factors such as local real estate market  conditions. We provide a preliminary analysis of the roles  of site contamination type and prior use in influencing  reuse potential. To put this analysis in broader context,  we also review the literature on the role of off-site  factors, and specifically local real estate market  conditions, in affecting the reuse potential of  contaminated sites. An important finding of this analysis  is that EPA and state programs currently do not collect  data needed to fully characterize the nature and extent of  contaminated site reuse within and across programs, or to  determine the relative influence of various factors that  influence the potential for reuse after cleanup.},
