The Jacksonville City Council approved the designation of 7407 and 7447 Salisbury Road as a Brownfield Area under the Florida Brownfields Redevelopment Act. Butler Creek Owner, LLC, the applicant and developer, plans to conduct further assessment and remediation activities to achieve regulatory site closure from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The Brownfield designation allows the developer to benefit from the Voluntary Cleanup Tax Credit program and gain cleanup liability protection. The area is now designated as the 'Butler Creek Green Reuse Area'.
The Brownfield designation encourages redevelopment of contaminated properties, supports environmental rehabilitation, and stimulates economic growth. The site will undergo remediation activities that will benefit both the environment and the community.
