[CPEO-BIF] Southern California Grant Training Workshops

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

Free Brownfields Grant Training Workshops

The Brownfields Program was created by the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency to help communities deal with environmental contamination that 
may be presenting an obstacle to redevelopment. The program focuses on 
sites where either real or perceived contamination by hazardous 
substances or petroleum products from past site uses serves to limit 
reinvestment or development interest.

The Brownfields Grant Training Workshops are being held to help eligible 
entities including local government agencies and quasi-municipal 
entities (including General Improvement Districts and Redevelopment 
Agencies) and non-profit groups prepare the competitive grants in 
accordance with the grant guidelines published by the US EPA.  This will 
include a discussion of eligibility criteria for applicants and sites, 
application formatting, scoring criteria, and important points of 
emphasis.  The grant guidelines will be presented by USEPA in 
conjunction with State regulatory representatives.
