<b>Pennsylvania Agency Looks to Help Recycling</b>

The state of Pennsylvania has put together an Internet directory to assist businesses and government agencies find properties for development.

The site, called SiteFinder, finds developers, real estate agents and property owners a resource to find everything they need.

PA SiteFinder is an updated, full-service website where property owners can post brownfields for sale. After owners post detailed information about their sites, developers and others can use PA SiteFinder to search for a suitable location. Financial and technical assistance also are available.

Users also can search for state, federal and non-governmental grants and loans, in addition to getting technical assistance. If they have a site to sell, they can fill out a form with all the details, including a ``sales pitch,'' and post it. If some of the details change, the information can be edited.

PA SiteFinder is a part of Pennsylvania's Land Recycling Program, which plays a vital role in the environmental and economic health of Pennsylvania.
