The Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation’s (LVEDC) redevelopment program is offering grant funding for environmental site assessments, cleanup planning, and redevelopment planning for brownfields projects.
The funds, which will be administered by LVEDC’s Lehigh Valley Land Recycling Initiative (LVLRI), are available through a $500,000 grant the program received from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist with environmental assessments and site cleanup plans for brownfields.
“These funds will help us reclaim properties that have been vacant or underutilized for years and turn them into economic assets for the community,” said Andrew Kleiner, LVEDC Director of Redevelopment and External Affairs.
