When a refinery, chemical plant, or paper mill is mothballed, the community worries about declining property values, dwindling tax base, lost jobs and neighborhood blight. The corporation worries about environmental liabilities, remediation costs, negative public perception and unwanted properties. Are these disused sites perpetual liabilities? Not necessarily. "We have an opportunity to use former industrial sites as catalysts for improvement in those areas where it is most needed." - Sheila Mitchell While helping communities meet goals for reuse and economic and social development, Sheila also helps corporations improve community relationships, achieve EHS goals and apply sustainable development initiatives.
