The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has announced their 2016 Sustainable Communities Award Winners.
Among the winners was the City of Edmonton, Alberta, for their Brownfields Redevelopment Grant Program.
With the aim of cleaning up former refuelling sites and revitalizing communities, the City of Edmonton’s Brownfield Redevelopment Grant Program offers a generous selection of grants for all stages of brownfield remediation, including environmental performance incentives.
The city anticipates that redeveloped properties will generate more than $2 million per year in new property tax revenue.
