$400,000

Resolution 139-17

In Plain English

The EPA awarded Richmond $400,000 to test contaminated properties for environmental hazards. Brownfields are former industrial sites that may contain pollution from past use. The grant helps the city identify cleanup needs before developers can build housing. Testing these sites removes barriers to new residential development in Richmond.
