Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup Grants

Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup Grants are financial resources provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support the evaluation and remediation of contaminated properties, known as brownfields. These sites often hinder community development due to pollution or hazardous materials. The grants help local governments, nonprofits, and tribes assess the extent of contamination and implement cleanup efforts. By restoring these areas, the program promotes environmental health, revitalizes neighborhoods, and encourages economic development, making brownfields safe for community use again.
