What sources of financial assistance are available from the federal government for brownfield projects?
The U.S. EPA provides Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot Grants to local, state, and tribal governments. These grants, up to $200,000, can be used for site investigation costs including site assessments, site identification, site characterization and development of site remediation plans. The grants can also be used to facilitate coordinated public and private partnerships and conduct outreach activities. The money can not be used for actual cleanup activities.
