EPA’s BF AWP program outlines an approach which enables communities to research and evaluate brownfields cleanup and reuse opportunities in light of priorities and existing plans; local market, infrastructure, and other conditions; and resource availability. This information enables communities to make more informed decisions about where to direct scarce resources and helps advance the implementation of locally-driven initiatives, such as housing, parks, environmental improvement, economic development, and ensuring environmental justice.
The BF AWP process is especially helpful to communities that have already been working within a specific area to develop partnerships, engage the community on priorities and build agreement around a shared revitalization vision. As available, EPA provides assistance to brownfields communities for BF AWP in order to help identify specific cleanup and reuse opportunities for key brownfield sites that can serve as catalysts for revitalization of the surrounding area.
