Brownfields Services
What Are Brownfields?
Brownfields are underutilized properties that may be contaminated by petroleum products, hazardous substances, asbestos, or lead-based paint. These sites can be eye sores or barriers to community growth. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates there are over 450,000 brownfield sites across the United States.
If left unaddressed, these properties can stall local development efforts, reduce surrounding property values and limit opportunities for economic revitalization.

“Working with ҰƵapp has been an extremely rewarding experience. From day one, they haven’t felt like contractors, they’ve felt like part of our team and our community. When catastrophic flooding hit Eastern Kentucky in February 2025, John Case and the ҰƵapp team didn’t wait to be asked. They stepped up immediately, delivering water and cleaning supplies to a local community in crisis. Those deliveries sustained families for days until additional help could arrive. That moment alone showed me what kind of company they are.
Eastern Kentucky isn’t an easy place to push environmental programs. The terrain, the history, and the skepticism can make progress hard. But the ҰƵapp team has approached every challenge with humility, creativity, and a willingness to get their boots muddy—literally. They’ve gone into hollers, sat with community members, and listened first. Kelly, John, and the entire team understand that in our region, solutions aren’t straightforward. They’ve never tried to force a one-size-fits-all model instead, they’ve helped us think outside the box every step of the way.
What sets ҰƵapp apart is simple, they care. For every site we’ve worked on, they’ve taken the time to understand the history, meet the people behind the project, and invest in real relationships. I’ve worked with dozens of contractors, big firms with all the resources but none of the heart, and small local groups that care deeply but struggle to deliver at scale. ҰƵapp is the rare company that brings both: world-class resources and a team that truly cares about the communities they serve.”
