Description
The Greyfield Revitalization Program, administered by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD), provides grants for early-stage planning, assessment, and feasibility work to support the transformation of outdated or underused commercial, retail, office, or knowledge-work properties—known as “greyfields”—into valuable community assets. The program aims to facilitate public-private partnerships and strengthen local economies and tax bases by preparing these sites for redevelopment and future implementation funding opportunities.
