Stantec worked with 13 cities, counties, and regional organizations across the US to help secure $6.9 million in federal brownfield funding through the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Assessment, Cleanup, and Multi-Purpose Grants program.
The funds will be used to assess, clean up, and plan redevelopment of underutilized properties while protecting public health and the environment. The funds can expand the ability of communities to recycle vacant and abandoned properties for new, productive reuses and leverage considerable infrastructure and other financial resources. A few of these projects include:
The type of work completed with federal brownfield funding varies. Many times, the funding is used for environmental work and leads to a breadth of projects from site development to landscape architecture to full-scale redevelopments.
Overall, Stantec has leveraged their in-house multidisciplinary capabilities – environmental scientists, water resource specialists, planners, engineers, and comprehensive funding services specialists – to help clients across the country secure more than 130 EPA and state brownfield grants, totaling more than $50 million.
