Connecticut is redirecting $4.6 million in previously allocated bonding to the state’s program for cleaning up former industrial sites.
The State Bond Commission is expected to approve the funding for the Regional Brownfield and Economic Development Program at its meeting Friday.
Municipalities and regional economic development organizations are eligible to apply for grants through the Regional Brownfield and Economic Development Program, which will be administered by the Department of Economic and Community Development.
The program will support regional economic development, brownfield development, and business development projects statewide.
Eligible activities include brownfield assessment and remediation, demolition, abatement, construction, renovation, acquisition, infrastructure improvements, and planning and engineering. Bond commission approval, however, is needed to commit these funds to new projects.
