Haynes Recreation Center, Laredo, TX Data Matrix and Sustainability Benchmarks (Updated Spring 2010) 1 Standard Benchmarks BENCHMARKS UNITS PRE PROJECT GOAL Property value (pre/post) Assessed or redevelopment value $36 million Annual tax revenue Tax Increment Public sector incentives Brownfields, infrastructure, other Ratio public cost to total redevelopment value Land remediated and redeveloped Rangeland 18 acres Building area developed/restored (post) Square feet 50,000-square-foot recreation center Number of jobs created/retained Created/retained, full/part-time; if available, construction/regular 1 The data matrices are intended to present an informal pre-development snapshot of conventional and sustainability-oriented information for each of the U.S. EPA s Brownfields Sustainability Pilots and their surrounding neighborhoods. Information was gathered from the U.S. Census and a variety of preliminary planning documents from 2008 to 2010. Given that most of these projects are at the early stages of planning and development, the information below is subject to change. For questions, please contact Christopher De Sousa, chris.desousa@ryerson.ca. Research support provided by Jason Tilidetzke and Kevin Duffy.
