Transfer brownfield cleanup loan program from defunct redevelopment agency to city

Environmental JusticeContracts

Resolution 11-7a, 17-1

In Plain English

The city's former redevelopment agency ran a federal loan program that helps property owners clean up contaminated sites. Since redevelopment agencies were eliminated statewide in 2012, the city must formally take over this program. The transfer allows Richmond to continue offering low-interest loans for environmental cleanup projects.
