It won't reach the point where a developer will fund the remediation and infrastructure improvements alone but the public burden will decrease. Pursuing the redevelopment of less costly brown/greyfield sites helps increase the value and viability of a regeneration scheme in the West Village and the burden private developers would be willing to carry.
At this point in time, can the West Village be deemed a priority?
