Request for EPA Brownfield Grant
Proposals - Area-wide Planning (AWP)
In
mid-August 2012 (planned) EPA will announces the availability of EPA grant funds for projects to facilitate
community involvement and develop area-wide planning and implementation
approaches to brownfield assessment, cleanup, and subsequent reuse. Brownfield area-wide planning grant funding
must be directed to specific areas affected by a single large or multiple
brownfield sites, such as a neighborhood, downtown district, city block or
local commercial corridor. The grant
funding will result in a plan and implementation strategy for the
brownfields-affected area, which will inform the assessment, cleanup and reuse
of brownfield properties and promote area-wide revitalization.
Eligible applicants include local and
State/Tribal governments, quasi-governmental agencies (e.g., Regional Planning
Councils) and non-profit organizations.
(FY10 BF AWP
Pilot Program recipients are not eligible to apply.) The maximum total amount of
grant funding that applicants may apply for is $200,000. Applicants may apply for project periods of
up to 24 months. EPA anticipates
selecting approximately 20 projects through this competitive opportunity.
