What do these places have in common? All of the Texarkana properties pictured here are considered potential brownfields. A brownfield is a site where contamination - or the possibility of contamination - is preventing use or redevelopment. Texarkana's Brownfields Assessment Program will assess and facilitate the redevelopment / reuse of brownfield properties within the city and will help transform brownfields into vibrant working and green space. The program is coordinated through and works in cooperation with Region 6 of the United States EPA.
