A \ Brownfields 2005 Revolving Loan Fund Grant
Fact Sheet

Ohio Department of Development
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.
Revolving Loan Fund Grant
$4,000,000 for hazardous substances
EPA has selected the Ohio Department of
Development for a brownfields revolving loan
fund grant. The grant will be used to capitalize a
revolving loan fund from which the Ohio
Department of Development coalition will provide
loans and subgrants to support cleanup activities
for sites in areas contaminated with hazardous
substances. Coalition partners include the Cities of
Akron, Cincinnati, and Dayton, and the Buckeye
Hills-Hocking Valley Regional Development
District.
