EPA Announces $600,000 in Brownfields Grants to Philadelphia Redevelopment Authorities

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced three brownfields grants for a total of $600,000 – $400,000 to the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development and $200,000 to the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority. The grants will support efforts underway in assessing brownfields sites that are potentially contaminated with petroleum and hazardous substances so they can be cleaned up and redeveloped into beneficial spaces. Brownfields are properties where real or suspected environmental contamination has prevented productive reuse.
