Superfund Redevelopment Initiative

The Superfund Redevelopment Initiative is a program managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that helps convert contaminated, abandoned, or unused hazardous waste sites—known as Superfund sites—into productive community assets. The goal is to clean up these sites responsibly and then repurpose them for new uses like parks, housing, businesses, or other community development projects. By doing so, the initiative promotes environmental health, economic growth, and community revitalization, turning long-standing environmental challenges into opportunities for positive development.
