s JMU ; Brownfields 2017 Cleanup Grant Fact Sheet W, ^ V Lifecycle Building Center, Atlanta, GA 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 Lifecycle Building Center for a brownfields cleanup grant. Hazardous substances grant funds will be used to clean up the Lifecycle Building Center site at 1116 Murphy Avenue SW in Atlanta.
