Today we are announcing that 227 communities were selected to receive 237 grant awards for a total of $147.5 million in Brownfields Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Grant funding. These Brownfields Grants will be used to assess, clean up and redevelop underutilized properties while protecting public health and the environment. Brownfields Grants not only support economic growth and job creation, but they also empower communities to address the environmental, public health, and social issues associated with contaminated land.
