The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (BRA) reviews proposals for the redevelopment of eligible property and determines what financial incentives are necessary to assist the redevelopment. The authority prepares or reviews plans for an eligible brownfield project cleanups. The authority then recommends to the Township Board that a public hearing regarding the plan held and action taken on the request. The Township Board is the final approval authority for any Brownfield Plan. The BRA would recommend revisions to the plan as new projects are submitted or revisions are requested on existing plan projects.

The BRA consists of seven total members, serving three year terms, as follows: the Township Manager, a member of the Planning Commission, Economic Development Corporation and Environmental Commission as well as three members having an interest and expertise in the fields of engineering, finance and law.

The BRA meets on-demand as projects are brought to the Township for review.
