Success Stories

Indiana Brownfields Program StoryMaps

The Indiana Brownfields Program is excited to share Story Maps it has created for Sites across the state. Story Maps allow us to share success stories by presenting site history, investigation and clean-up activities, and redevelopments in a new and interactive way. To view the Story Map website and explore the various Maps created, please visit:

The following are summaries of some of the successful brownfield projects that have been achieved using state and/or federal assistance, including grants and loans, as well as Comfort Letters and Site Status Letters.

While brownfield redevelopment itself is a sustainable development practice, redevelopment professionals have been discovering the numerous benefits of specific sustainable redevelopment practices, including increased profitability, more efficient use of resources, and improvements in the general well-being of the community.

*Note: Some sites listed below incorporated sustainable redevelopment practices (e.g., reuse of existing site structures/infrastructure, new construction of LEED-certified “green” buildings, recycling/repurposing of demolition materials, use of renewable energy sources, connection of the site to existing modes of transportation).
