ACRPC Brownfields Program
What are brownfields? Brownfields are properties that may be affected by hazardous waste material. Contamination may stem from current or past activities on or near the property. Redeveloping brownfields can reduce public and environmental health concerns, revitalize economic centers, improve housing and neighborhoods, and reduce sprawl. ACRPC’s Role The Brownfields Program is overseen by a steering committee. The committee solicits and selects properties to participate in the program, advises program outreach activities, and oversees Environmental Site Assessment activities for properties participating in the program. The steering committee is responsible for reviewing, choosing, and prioritizing applicant sites to receive grant funding. The Brownfields Program is being conducted under ACRPC’s current grant agreements with the EPA. ACRPC has been awarded 2 grants, totaling $400,000 to pursue this program.
