The first case study highlights a former air force base, K. I. (Kevin Ingalls) Sawyer, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the Lake Superior basin. The base closed in 1995 and the re-branded town of K. I. Sawyer struggles to find its image and purpose as a community. The primarily low-income community was concerned about a plume of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater, potentially contaminated soil in their baseball fields, and lead paint on the interior and exterior of vacant residential buildings which were brownfields. The second case study features the City of Benton Harbor, Michigan. Once a thriving harbor city, it currently is navigating a burden of multiple brownfields, vacant properties, and the aftermath of a lead water crisis. In 2016, lead-lined water service lines began to fail, releasing lead into drinking water, leading to community outrage and concern from 2019 - 2023. The city's lead water crisis made national news. By 2023, the community felt the need to build their capacity to navigate conversations with local government and to obtain funding for community revitalization.","PeriodicalId":520409,"journal":{"name":"Achieving Sustainability in Ukraine through Military Brownfields Redevelopment","volume":"2024 ","pages":"25-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11822752/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143416567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a simple 4-step brainstorming process, the Action Model engages a diverse array of community members, the Development Community, in community revitalization plans. The Action Model's fourth step results in community-driven indicators associated with redevelopment. This manuscript discusses the consolidation of over 200 Action Model indicators from 40 communities, resulting in the Action Model Toolkit, which highlights 69 redevelopment indicators common to 20% or more of the communities. The indicators are in nine categories: built environment, community involvement, economy, education, environmental improvement, environmental resources, housing, physical health, and safety and security. Example indicators from a redeveloped former United States Air Force base are featured. Any community may use the Action Model Toolkit to implement their own Action Models and encourage the selection of common indicators or to derive their own unique indicators through sustainability, public health, and environmental lenses.","PeriodicalId":520409,"journal":{"name":"Achieving Sustainability in Ukraine through Military Brownfields Redevelopment","volume":"2024 ","pages":"3-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11798415/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143257790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
