What is TAB?
TAB Grantees
The TAB Program funds three organizations who with their extensive team of subgrantees,
contractors, partners, and other network contacts provides technical assistance to
communities and other stakeholders. The TABs help communities tackle the challenge
of assessing, cleaning up and preparing brownfields sites for redevelopment, especially
underserved, rural, small, and otherwise distressed communities.
Technical assistance provided through the TAB Program helps communities across
the country increase their understanding and involvement in brownfields cleanup and
revitalization and assists in moving brownfields sites forward in the process toward cleanup
and reuse.
The TAB Program serves as an independent resource assisting communities with technical
assistance in a variety of areas including:
/ Community and stakeholder involvement
/ Health impacts of brownfield sites
/ Science and technology relating to brownfield site assessment, remediation, and site
preparation activities
/ Brownfield finance
/ Integrated approaches to brownfield cleanup and redevelopment
/ Sources of brownfields assessment and cleanup funding
/ State brownfields and voluntary cleanup program requirements
/ Brownfields redevelopment activities
Each TAB grantee provides a wide range technical assistance. For more information about
support available in your area, please see the list of TAB grantees on the next page.
