Financial Resources for Cleaning Up & Redeveloping Contaminated Properties
These web pages are intended to help those interested in cleaning up or redeveloping contaminated properties find information about local, state and federal financial resources. Many of these properties may be brownfields, which are defined as abandoned or underutilized commercial and industrial properties where redevelopment is hindered by real or perceived contamination.
Although many of the most popular programs are listed in these web pages, other financial tools are available. You should consider these web pages to be a starting point in your search for financial assistance. Please use our links on the left to search for grants, loans, tax credits and other financial assistance.
