FY26 Brownfield Assessment Grants (Community-Wide Assessment Grants)

The FY26 Brownfield Assessment Grants, administered directly by the Environmental Protection Agency, provide funding through cooperative agreements to support the revitalization of brownfield sites. These grants are designed to fund the development of site inventories, prioritization, community involvement, planning, site assessments, and the creation of cleanup and reuse plans. While the program covers a broad range of preparatory activities, a specific portion of the funding must be dedicated to conducting site assessments, and funds are strictly prohibited from being used for actual cleanup activities. Currently listed as a forecast, the program status is closed pending the next funding cycle. The initiative focuses on planning, hazard mitigation, and other environmental topics, falling under NAICS code 541620. Interested parties can find further details through the official grants portal and the EPA's application resource page.
