United States: Brownfields Assessment Grants

US: Grants available to support Environmental Projects

Deadline: 1-Dec-21

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the Brownfields Assessment Grants to ensure that residents living in communities historically affected by economic disinvestment, health disparities, and environmental contamination have an opportunity to benefit from brownfields redevelopment.

EPA’s Brownfields Program has a rich history rooted in environmental justice and is committed to helping communities revitalize brownfield properties, mitigate potential health risks, and restore economic vitality.

Assessment Grants provide funding for developing inventories of brownfield sites, prioritizing sites, conducting community involvement activities, conducting planning, conducting site assessments, developing site-specific cleanup plans, and developing reuse plans related to brownfield sites. A portion of the Assessment Grant funding must be used to conduct site assessments.

Assessment Grant funds may not be used to conduct cleanup activities.

Options

Applicants may apply for a Community-wide and / or a Site-specific Assessment Grant or apply for Community-wide Assessment Grant for States and Tribes.
