How and when are TBRA funds available?
The TBRA provides funds to clean up polluted land to make it available for economic redevelopment, job retention and job growth or the production of affordable housing to enhance the tax base of the recipient municipality. TBRA funds are raised by a legislatively authorized levy capped at $5 million annually. The funds are available annually with applications accepted twice each year (the first regular business day on or after May 1 and November 1). The TBRA is coordinated with complementary programs at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), Hennepin County and Ramsey County.
