Partnerships
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
EPA’s Brownfield Program provides grants and technical assistance to communities, states, tribes and others to assess, safely clean up and sustainably reuse these contaminated properties. The ALBFA will collaborate with the EPA to help our stakeholders understand current federal environmental and redevelopment policies and to provide feedback to the agency for development of future policies. EPA representatives will provide technical assistance and education at the various workshops, seminars, and conferences organized by the ALBFA, as well as grant funding for eligible communities. This collaboration will provide insight to our members on how to navigate a project through the unique environmental and regulatory issues associated with brownfield redevelopment.
