Brownfields Redevelopment

Brownfields are underused or abandoned land that may be contaminated, can scar city neighborhoods and restrict economic opportunity.  Redevelopment, properly conceived and implemented, can improve public health and the environment, increase investment, and create long-term improvements in housing, jobs, recreational opportunities, open space, and public facilities.

The City of Meriden, working hand-in-hand with our Blight and Brownfields Committee, is committed to redeveloping brownfield sites that blight our neighborhoods. We want to redevelop these sites and ask the community to help us sort out options and better understand the impacts on our neighborhoods. We want to create plans to reuse brownfields that improve our community's health, create investment opportunities and create improvements that truly fit Meriden's neighborhoods.

Meriden's Blight and Brownfields Committee is involved in two major brownfields projects.  Factory H on Cooper Street  and the HUB block in the downtown.
