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 Grant
$200,000for hazardous substances
EPA has selected the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government for a
brownfields cleanup grant. Hazardous substances grant funds will be
used to clean up the former Fayette County Courthouse at 215 West
Main Street. The building was constructed in 1898 and operated as the
community's judicial center until 2002. From 2002 until 2012, the
building was used to provide museum space and to assist with Lexington
Fanners' Market operations. Contaminants at the site include metals,
inorganic materials, mold, and guano.
