We are experts in deriving and evaluating end land use scenarios. We then work with the client to define which solution most appropriately balances variables such as:

• Development economics
• Remedy scope and cost
• Compatibility of environmental remedies
   with land end use goals
• Compatibility of development plan with
   immediate surroundings
• Stakeholder and community interests
• Regulatory restrictions

Management of all of the above factors will be important as Buffalo Bayou is revitalized and a community link is once again forged between land and water.

Since the Bayou project area is many miles in length, the above evaluations will most likely need to be performed in a length-by-length fashion, then re-integrated to insure consistency with the Master Plan.

Examples of Project Navigator’s capabilities in impacted land reuse decision-making are as follows:

Former Refinery Site
Alma, MI

In 2005, under our WeMoveProperty venture, we performed a highest and best future use analysis for a former refinery site in Michigan. The land is impacted from past operations, but via judicious review and integration of remedial systems with possible land use plans, the location is now being considered for use as a bio-ethanol facility.

Other impacted land reuse projects are described on WeMoveProperty, including our work at:
