Introduction
The Illinois Municipal Brownfields Redevelopment Grant Program (MBRGP) offers grants worth a maximum of $240,000 each to municipalities to assist in site investigation activities, development of cleanup objectives, and performance of cleanup activities. Brownfields are abandoned or underused industrial and/or commercial properties that are contaminated (or thought to be contaminated) and have an active potential for redevelopment.
Municipal Brownfields Redevelopment Grants may be used to perform environmental site assessments to determine whether a brownfields property is contaminated, and if so, to what extent. These grants may also be used to develop cleanup objectives, prepare cleanup plans, and fund actual cleanup activities. Grant recipients are required to share in any grant award through a 70/30 match and to spend the grant within three years.
Staff within the Office of Brownfields Assistance (OBA), known as Brownfields Representatives, seek out MBRGP grant recipients, evaluates grant applications, monitors grant activities, and reviews reimbursement requests to ensure eligibility and reasonableness of costs. Brownfields Representatives guide communities through both the grant application and implementation processes and meet with city officials before they file a formal grant application to help determine cleanup potential and maximize grant dollars.
