“Brownfields” are abandoned, idled, or underused industrial or
commercial properties with real or perceived environmental
contamination. Through grants from the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the Regional Planning Commission (RPC)
provides funding assistance and technical guidance to assist those
interested in redeveloping Brownfield sites in the city of New
Orleans and the parishes of Jefferson, Plaquemines, St. Bernard
and St. Tammany in southeast Louisiana.
Addressing potential environmental issues, especially financial and
regulatory hurdles, is often intimidating, creating a barrier to the
redevelopment or expanded use of these sites. RPC’s Brownfield
Redevelopment Program helps convert these properties from
community liabilities into community assets by providing funding
and guidance to navigate the environmental process from
investigation to cleanup.
Regional and State Partnering
RPC partners with other EPA Brownfield grantees in the Region,
including the City of New Orleans, Jefferson Parish, the City
ofGretna, City of Westwego, and the Army Corps of Engineers, as
well as neighboring South Central Planning and Development
Commission and City of Baton Rouge.
