I JBt \ Brownfields 2004 Assessment Grant Fact Sheet
'w1' Capital City Development Corporation, Boise, ID
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. On
January 11, 2002, President George W. Bush signed into
law the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields
Revitalization Act. Under the Brownfields 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.
Community Description
The Capital City Development Corporation was selected
to receive a brownfields assessment grant. The target area,
which encompasses three CCDC redevelopment districts,
covers more than 433 acres in downtown Boise
(population 323,261). This area has many remnants of
former industrial facilities. The target area has 2,795
residents aged 16 years and older. Most of the area's
residents live in rental housing, and more than 23 percent
have incomes below the poverty line. Because the target
area includes centers of government, commerce,
entertainment, education, and culture, the assessment and
revitalization of the redevelopment districts will benefit
not only residents of these areas, but also residents of the
much larger community who work, shop, or otherwise
frequent downtown Boise.
Assessment Grant
$200,000 for petroleum
EPA has selected the Capital City Development
Corporation (CCDC) for a brownfields assessment
grant. Grant funds will be used to conduct initial
assessments, Phase II site assessments on eligible
properties, and a brownfields inventory of sites
with potential petroleum contamination within the
CCDC's three redevelopment districts in
downtown Boise.
