Brownfields 2016 Grant Fact Sheet
St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care,
Milwaukee, WI
EPA Brownfields Program
EPA's Brownfields Program empowers states, communities, and other stakeholders to work together to
prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfields. A brownfield site is real property,
the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential
presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. In 2002, the Small Business Liability
Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act was passed to help states and communities around the
country cleanup and revitalize brownfields sites. Under this law, EPA provides financial assistance to
eligible applicants through four competitive grant programs: assessment grants, revolving loan fund
grants, cleanup grants, and job training grants. Additionally, funding support is provided to state and
tribal response programs through a separate mechanism.
Cleanup Grants
$400,000 for hazardous substances
EPA has selected the St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care for two brownfields cleanup grants.
Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean up the East and West Release Sites of the
Bucyrus Campus at 2450 West North Avenue in Milwaukee. Dating back to the late 1800s, the three-
acre East Release Site and 3.5-acre West Release Site were formerly developed with residences and
commercial buildings. Both sites contain historic fill that is contaminated with polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons. Grant funds at both sites also will be used to conduct community outreach activities.
