The EPA's Brownfields Program is a federal initiative aimed at revitalizing contaminated properties, known as brownfields, which are often abandoned or underused. These sites may pose environmental hazards but have the potential for redevelopment. The program provides funding, technical assistance, and guidance to communities to assess and clean up these areas, promoting sustainable development. By addressing the environmental issues associated with brownfields, the program helps to protect public health and the environment. It also encourages economic growth by transforming these sites into usable spaces for parks, housing, or businesses, ultimately enhancing community well-being and property values.
