Boston- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is holding an information session to discuss funding to assist communities to redevelop contaminated or potentially contaminated properties, known as Brownfields. Last year, EPA invested a total of $9.9 million in redevelopment projects across New England. This program is versatile in that it offers a variety of tools to communities to foster locally-driven, environmentally sound reuse solutions.
