National Brownfield Associations
The National Brownfield Association (NBA), based in Chicago was established in 1999 as a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to stimulating the responsible redevelopment of brownfields. The NBA is the premier association for government, businesses and individuals involved in the redevelopment of brownfields. NBA’s mission is carried out through three primary conduits – information, education, and events. We are the “go to” organization for information on the brownfield market, and through our Web site, email updates and Brownfield News magazine, we have the ability to keep our members well informed of changing market conditions, policy and legislation.
