The City of Wixom partners with Oakland County to provide developers and property owners economic development tools to that assist funding improvements, development and redevelopment projects.

The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (BRA) is the administrative board advancing the goals and accomplishing the tasks identified for the Oakland County Brownfield Initiative. The Oakland County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority is utilized specifically:
  • To assist key developments in communities that may be averse to establishing their own BRA as part of the county's ongoing economic development efforts and/or to protect key environmental assets
  • To assist specific developments in communities that may have few parcels or limited capacity to administer a redevelopment project
  • To systematically administer and redevelop tax reverted property that the county may come to own
Under state law, a BRA is required to access certain financing incentives and tax increment financing to recover remediation expenses. BRAs allow for the development of a revolving loan fund and a means for recovering administrative costs of the BRA.
