The US Environmental Protection Agency Brownfields Program has been a success story since its inception in 1995. With nearly $2.37 billion invested in grants, the program has empowered communities to assess and clean up contaminated properties and has resulted in the return of blighted areas to productive reuse.
The impact of the Brownfields Program extends far beyond the initial grants. EPA’s investment has leveraged over $36 billion in additional cleanup and redevelopment funds from both public and private sources. This has created an estimated 260,000 jobs, demonstrating a significant return on investment. Communities receiving grants have seen an impressive average of 10.6 jobs created for every $100,000 of EPA funding spent.
EPA is receiving a significant boost for its Brownfields programs. The federal budget allocates $207.5 million, which is an increase of $34.1 million from the previous fiscal year.
