The Jackson Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority is an eleven - member Board that was established by City
Council on November 13, 2002, pursuant to and in accordance with the
provisions of the Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act, Act 381 of
the Public Acts of the State of Michigan of 1996, as amended.
The JBRA facilitates the implementation of plans relating to the
identification and treatment of environmentally distressed areas so
as to promote revitalization in the City of Jackson.
The City of Jackson has had significant success where other
Brownfield Redevelopment tools were utilized, including Consumers
Energy Headquarters (2003 Region V Phoenix Award and People's Choice
Award), Kinder Morgan, Home Depot, and numerous other private
businesses resulting in over $360 million of investment in Jackson's
Brownfields.
