EPA Announces $500,000 Assessment Grant for St. Louis Brownfield Sites

SLDC and partner agency, Community Development Administration (CDA), announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has selected the City of St. Louis for a Brownfields Assessment Grant. Grant funds will be used to develop seven cleanup plans and support training activities. The target area for this grant is the City of St. Louis with a focus on Chouteau's Landing and many neighborhoods in the northern part of the City. Priority sites include a vacant 2-story residential building built in 1914 that has been condemned for structural issues and is surrounded by vacant lots.

This assessment grant is part of the $315 Million Through Investing in America Agenda for Cleanup and Technical Assistance at Polluted Brownfield Sites, the EPA's largest investment ever in brownfields communities made by President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda.
