The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Grants through its Brownfields Program. This grant aims to empower states, communities, tribes, and nonprofit organizations by providing essential funds. The primary purpose is to support efforts in preventing, inventorying, assessing, cleaning up, and ultimately reusing brownfield sites. This initiative is a crucial part of the EPA’s commitment to environmental revitalization, aligning with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the BUILD Act. These guidelines specifically provide information for entities interested in applying for the RLF Grants to foster sustainable community development and environmental health.
