Is there any in-kind assistance available from the State of Illinois for brownfield redevelopment?
Yes, the Illinois EPA can help local governments by conducting Redevelopment Assessments at brownfield properties in their communities. Using a grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), Illinois EPA staff may come to your community to conduct redevelopment assessments that provide information about the environmental condition of a specific piece of property. To receive a redevelopment assessment, the local government must own the property or obtain permission from the owner and must document interest in developing the property.
