Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Lessen the burdens of government by partnering with local government bodies and other community stakeholders to promote the revitalization and reuse of impaired properties and to develop and implement sustainable environmental initiatives in target communities; to foster public awareness and participation in these sustainable environments, and to encourage public/private partnerships for the implementation of these initiatives where privately-funded action is unlikely to occur due to market challenges; and to provide technical assistance to local governments/community stakeholders to facilitate the remediation and reuse of environmentally impaired properties located across the country.
