Applicants Selected for FY 2023 Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, RLF, Cleanup or MARC Grants, RLF Supplemental Funding and Technical Assistance
Today we are announcing that 262 communities were selected to receive 267 grant awards for a total of $215 million in funding for Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Grant programs. These Brownfields Grants will be used to assess, clean up and redevelop underutilized properties while protecting public health and the environment.
We are also announcing $45 million in supplemental funding to 22 successful, existing Revolving Loan Fund Grant recipients who have demonstrated success in their work to clean up and redevelop brownfield sites. Supplemental funding for RLF Grants is available to recipients that have depleted their funds and have viable cleanup projects ready for work. RLF supplemental funding helps sustain and increase the great progress these communities have made in cleaning up brownfield sites, while also helping them become stronger, healthier, and more economically competitive.
And the selections of five Brownfields Technical Assistance Providers and three recipients of Brownfields Research Grants, who are receiving $55 million to strengthen technical assistance.
These investments totaling $315 million are part of President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda. This announcement includes approximately $192 million from the historic once-in-a generation $1.5 billion investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure law to help turn brownfield sites across the nation into hubs of economic growth.
