U.S. EPA Brownfields Grant Program
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.

- 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
- Conduct Community Involvement: Inform and engage community
