The WV Brownfields Assistance Centers are offering a webinar series to help communities, nonprofits, and other eligible entities understand and apply for US EPA Brownfields grants.

EPA’s Brownfields Program provides direct funding for brownfields assessment, cleanup, revolving loans, environmental job training, technical assistance, training, and research. In the last round of funding, West Virginia communities received more than $3.2 million in funding from US EPA

This two-part webinar series will help you prepare your EPA Brownfields Assessment, Cleanup, or Multipurpose grant. Experienced staff from the BACs, WVDEP, and US EPA will provide an in-depth review of the grant guidelines, with tips and tricks on how to complete each section.

Part 1 will cover an overview of the grant process, including threshold criteria and the first sections of ranking criteria.

Part 2 will cover the final sections of ranking criteria.

With questions or for more information, contact Carrie Staton at carrie.staton@mail.wvu.edu

This webinar series replaces our usual in-person workshops in light of ongoing public health concerns.
