Brownfield Assessment Program
Through this program, the City provides services to eligible entities considering redeveloping commercial or industrial properties that have significant economic development potential but face environmental issues.
Services are provided by experienced environmental consulting firms contracted and selected by the City, and include:
Eligible applicants are public entities, non-profit organizations, businesses, and developers located in the County. Funds are not available to any parties that caused or contributed to the contamination of the site.
Brownfield Technical Assistance
The City of Cleveland has a skilled, highly professional staff with a great deal of experience in the area of Brownfield Redevelopment. While the City primarily puts its resources into the Landbank program, the Economic Development staff is knowledgeable about other Brownfield Redevelopment Resources and can provide information on potential funding sources.
Each time a vacant Brownfield site is returned to productive use, Cleveland benefits from new tax revenues and increased sustainability of the region.
