Abstract
(type = abstract)
This dissertation examines the New York State (NYS) Brownfields Cleanup Program (BCP). The BCP is a state voluntary brownfields cleanup program for private developers. Participants in the BCP do a site cleanup in compliance with a plan approved by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), and then receive some liability release and varying amounts of refundable tax credits against project costs, including some costs not directly related to the cleanup. In the dissertation I use case study methods to document the stated purposes of the BCP throughout its development and compare them to the observed and expected outcomes of the program as it has been implemented, from 2003-2012. The BCP is a program that has been variously characterized by policy stakeholders, the media and in its authorizing legislation as fulfilling purposes including community development, environmental cleanup, and economic revitalization. Whether all of these purposes can be achieved in one program is both a theoretical and an empirical question. In the dissertation I examine the underlying assumptions of the BCP as an example of policy integration, and explore the relationship of this assumption to various dimensions of the geography of program participation. I conclude that the program is not just a "cleanup" program, as its name implies, but is also not achieving the multiplicity of outcomes attributed to it. I suggest that an interdisciplinary planning orientation towards brownfields and other similarly multi-sector policy problems is an important strategy for introducing transparency and democratic models of power into the policy process.
