Brownfields
The Brownfields Program enhances the Build Ready Sites Program by providing additional funding for sites classified as 'brownfield' by the North Carolina Brownfields Program. This initiative aims to expand the inventory and pipeline of available sites, thereby attracting more businesses to North Carolina.
NCRR's Brownfields Program provides funding for building upon previous infrastructure
Brownfields are sites hindered by environmental concerns that can complicate redevelopment. Our program assists communities at all stages of the process to bring rail-served industrial sites back into productive use through the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Brownfields Program. Communities can apply for assistance related to pre-engineering necessary to apply for the state Brownfields Program. Assessment and remediation costs can be supplemented for program participants.
