Brownfields 2016 Cleanup Grant Fact Sheet
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 Hardesty Renaissance Economic Development
Corporation for a brownfields cleanup grant. Hazardous substances grant
funds will be used to clean up Building 10 of the Hardesty Federal
Complex on 605 Hardesty Avenue in Kansas City. The building was
used as a United States Army Quartermaster Corps storage depot in the
late 1940s and provided a variety of support functions for various federal
agencies until it was closed in 2002. It has been vacant since then and is
contaminated with metals and inorganic substances. Grant funds also
will be used to support community outreach activities.
