Upcoming
Brownfield Funding for Redevelopment in Minnesota
Tuesday, February 27, 2024
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
The DEED Brownfields and Redevelopment program is hosting this webinar in cooperation with the Metropolitan Council, and Ramsey and Hennepin Counties. Join us to learn about local public grants and loans that help pay the cost of cleaning up contaminated sites often known as brownfields.
In the Twin Cities metropolitan area, there are multiple sources of funding to help remediate contaminated sites. Hear from panelists representing:
- Hennepin County
- Ramsey County
- Metropolitan Council
- Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED)
- Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
We are interested in helping redevelopment that will increase the local tax base, add jobs and leverage private investment. Grants are competitive. Learn about different financing options available to clean up:
- Petroleum contamination
- Polluted soil contamination
- Soil vapor contamination
- Groundwater contamination
- Asbestos and hazardous materials (does not apply to all funding sources)
Eligibility for funding
Cities, counties, or economic development, housing and redevelopment, and port authorities and in some cases, tribes are eligible to apply. (For-profit and nonprofit organizations looking for help dealing with contamination with real estate redevelopment are encouraged to work with public agencies to apply.)
More than $8 million in grant funds (and low-cost loans) will be available this spring.
Prior grants have helped make apartment, office, retail, and industrial development on formerly contaminated sites safe and financially sound. Apply for a grant by May 1.
