In an effort to provide a financing source for reuse projects, the City aggressively pursues federal and state grant funds. Over $2,000,000 in funding is available to assist with addressing environmental issues at brownfield sites ranging from initial due diligence to site cleanup.
EPA Brownfields Area-Wide Planning Pilot Project Grant
EPA has selected the City of Roanoke for a 2010 Brownfields Area-Wide Planning Pilot Project Grant.
EPA is piloting an area-wide planning approach to community brownfield challenges, which recognizes that revitalization of the area surrounding the brownfield site(s) is just as critical to the successful reuse of the property as assessment, cleanup, and redevelopment of an individual site. The pilot program will help further community-based partnership efforts within underserved or economically disadvantaged neighborhoods by confronting local environmental and public health challenges related to brownfields, while creating a planning framework to advance economic development and job creation.
Roanoke was one of 23 localities chosen for this pilot grant.
