Central Ohio has been awarded a $600,000 Assessment Coalition Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Brownfields Program. All brownfield properties within the 15-county region are eligible to apply for grant funds to assess sites contaminated by hazardous substances, pollutants, or petroleum.

The EPA’s Brownfields Program provides technical and financial assistance for brownfields activities. Assessment coalition grants provide grant recipients with funding for the following assessment activities:

Inventory Sites: Compile a listing
Characterize Sites: Identify past uses
Assess Sites: Determine existing contamination
Conduct Planning Around One or More Brownfield: Initiate site revitalization and prepare for site redevelopment
Conduct Site-specific Cleanup and Redevelopment Planning: Scope and plan process

More information about the EPA Brownfields Program and the assessment coalition grants is available at the EPA program webpage.

The site selection process is determined by the Technical Assistance Working Group, comprised of public agencies that represent regional interests. The grant application and site selection process are not competitive. All public, private, or non-profit agencies with eligible properties are encouraged to apply below.
