The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (BRA) was established to encourage and assist developers who want to return contaminated and functionally obsolete property to productive use more quickly and at a lower cost than before, while at the same time protecting human health and natural resources. The programs offered by the BRA are available throughout the city of Dearborn Heights.
