GOPC Releases Brownfields White Paper

GOPC has published a white paper, “The Benefit of Brownfields: Analysis of the Brownfield Remediation Fund’s Round 1 Awards & Preliminary Programmatic Recommendations,” in October 2022. This white paper analyzes the $252 million awarded in the first round of the BRF and makes the case for another $500 million in state funding in the next state Operating Budget. The paper also recommends one adjustment to the current program to help communities, especially smaller and more rural communities, successfully compete for funds.
