Keith’s practice centers on development or redevelopment of property, and the environmental, utility and land use issues that arise from development projects.
He assists developers and local governments with the planning, permitting and construction of a variety of projects, including convention centers, parks and other public projects, residential developments, and marinas. He especially enjoys “brownfields” projects, redeveloping contaminated property. This work in part involves assisting clients with compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act.
Keith also represents both local governments and private parties in disputes over a variety of land use matters, including claims over responsibility for contamination, disputes among parties in various development projects, and enforcement of zoning, stormwater and other local land use ordinances. His litigation experience includes environmental citizens suits and administrative litigation over inter-basin water transfers and penalties and other enforcement actions initiated by State environmental authorities.
