Site Selection Tool

 

Responding to a local government’s request for a rational tool for selecting brownfields to remediate and develop, the WPBC is currently developing a “multi-attribute decision method” tool which allows governments and other stakeholders to prioritize their site selection process by weighting criteria of local and immediate interest (such as environmental and health, ease of development, social and economic considerations, and quality of life indicators) as they determine where to allocate funds. The tool is to be used for guidance as not all intangibles can be captured in model and the structure is flexible to allow for adaptation by different communities and stakeholders.
