PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This training session is presented by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development’s (DECD) Office of Brownfield Remediation and Development (OBRD) and the strategic partnership with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and The Connecticut Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (CBRA).

The Environmental Protection Agency defines brownfields as “real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous waste substance, pollutant, or contaminant”.

Brownfield redevelopment is a crucial element in the state’s responsible growth strategies and the DECD’s mission carries that out. The DECD’s mission is to develop and implement strategies that:

Attract and retain business
Revitalize neighborhoods
Ensure quality housing
Foster responsible growth

OBRD is your one-stop for both financial and technical assistance.

Get the most up to date information on the state’s brownfield programs and learn more about how brownfield re-use relates to responsible growth by returning brownfield properties to productive use by strengthening public-private partnerships for providing solutions, timely resources, and expertise.
