Description
The Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) Brownfield Municipal Grant Program is designed to support Connecticut municipalities, economic development agencies, councils of government, and brownfield land banks in redeveloping underutilized or contaminated properties ("brownfields") that are inhibiting economic growth. The program funds a wide range of activities, including environmental site assessment, remediation, hazardous material abatement, limited demolition, and related planning and consulting. The goal is to return brownfield sites to productive use, stimulate economic development, and encourage public-private partnerships that leverage state investment for broader community benefit.
