FY2010 GUIDELINES FOR BROWNFIELDS JOB TRAINING GRANTS -
The guidelines are posted on the national Brownfields and Land Revitalization website under Apply for Funding . The proposal deadline is December 1, 2009.
Brownfields Job Training grants provide funding to governmental entities and nonprofit organizations to recruit, train, and place local unemployed and under-employed, predominantly low-income and minority residents, with the skills needed to acquire full-time, sustainable careers in the green economy and brownfields redevelopment work. Brownfields Job Training Grants help residents take advantage of the jobs created by the assessment, cleanup and redevelopment of brownfields in their communities. Eligible applicants can apply for up to $200,000. The project period for these grants is 2 years.
Please note there are significant changes to the Proposal Guidelines for Brownfields Job Training Grants in FY2010. EPA encourages applicants to read the guidelines carefully before applying.

Brownfields Success Story
Oklahoma City - A former dry cleaning facility occupying nearly an entire city block is the new home for the non-profit Love Link Ministries, Inc. This site is located in a minority and economically distressed community and will allow Love Link to expand its services to people in need. The City, state and federal government (EPA) pitched in to assist with the cleanup of this property. Free EPA Targeted Brownfields Assessment (TBA) services were provided to characterize contaminants. See the EPA Region 6 Brownfields Program success story for details: Former NuWay Cleaners (PDF, 1 pg, 145 KB).
