Agenda Item Text:
Discussion and possible direction on the EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant-Assessment Coalition.
Background:
The EPA offers a competitive grant that allows for brownfield inventory and assessment of properties with asbestos and lead-based paint. Cochise County will lead a coalition of government agencies in Cochise County and coordinate efforts with a consultant to apply for and administer the grant. The grant award is for $600k to be used over three years. No matching requirement and the county may charge up to a 5% fee to administer the grant. Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA) between the County and coalition members is also necessary. Coalition members include Cochise County, City of Sierra Vista, City of Bisbee, and the City of Douglas.
The goal is to assess properties and identify funding from the State or EPA to abate the property, thereby increasing the desirability of the property to developers for redevelopment or infill.
