Clatsop County received a grant from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for brownfield revitalization.
Brownfields are properties that aren’t living up to their best use due to real or perceived environmental issues.
The county will use the grant to provide property owners with a range of environmental assessment and planning services to catalyze revitalization, site transformation, and visioning for neighborhoods and for individual properties.
Eligible activities include:
- Environmental site assessments
- Testing building materials for asbestos and lead
- Preparing cleanup plans or site re-use plans for underperforming properties
The grant can be used to plan for cleanup, but it cannot be used to conduct cleanup activities.
The grant can assist with properties throughout Clatsop County. Properties with a need for environmental assessment, cleanup planning, and/or re-use planning and where revitalization supports broader community goals and visions, will be prioritized for consideration.
Please complete this form to recommend or request assistance from this program for a property in need of revitalization.
Property owner participation is voluntary. The county will review each site nomination, determine eligibility, and facilitate property owner engagement.
Completed nomination forms can be submitted via email or U.S. mail to the contact listed below. P
