Revitalizing Brownfields: Empowering Communities for Sustainable Redevelopment

The EPA's Brownfields mission focuses on empowering states, communities, and stakeholders in economic redevelopment to collaboratively identify, assess, clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfields. By providing financial and technical assistance, including grants for environmental site assessments and cleanups, the program facilitates revitalization initiatives. Brownfields are defined as real properties complicated by the presence of hazardous substances. The process includes identifying properties, conducting assessments, and ensuring sustainable redevelopment, thus transforming potentially hazardous sites into valuable community assets.
