EPA brownfields online discussion

DALLAS - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host an online discussion April 23 with non-profits and community foundations across the country to learn about brownfields assessment, cleanup, and redevelopment projects. “Non-profit organizations are often embedded within local communities, working tirelessly to improve quality of life for nearby residents. Many nonprofits serve low-income and disadvantaged communities experiencing current and historical environmental injustices, including the public health and economic problems caused by brownfields and contaminated properties,” said Carlton Waterhouse, EPA Deputy Administrator for the Office of Land and Emergency Management. “The goal of this discussion is to provide EPA with a better understanding of how to support nonprofit efforts to assess, cleanup and redevelop brownfields sites in the communities they serve.” This virtual event will be held from 12-2 p.m. (CT) on April 23. Registration is required. EPA's Brownfields and Land Revitalization Program provides direct competitive funding for brownfields assessment, cleanup, revolving loans, environmental job training, technical assistance, training, and research.
