Center for Community Systems at New Jersey Institute of Technology

The mission of the Center for Community Systems is to be a resource and conduit for creating thriving, sustainable, and resilient communities.

Home of NJIT TAB, New Jersey Brownfields Assistance Center @ NJIT is the first-of-its-kind center that solely focuses on and serves New Jersey’s communities as they strive to transform their former industrial and commercial properties into community assets. This Center educates and engages communities about brownfield issues. It provides free “help desk” assistance and guidance to any NJ county or municipal government challenged with navigating the cleanup and redevelopment processes, and it develops tools and resources for both the public and private sector, including developers, consultants, and other brownfield practitioners.
