TBH You Should Apply for A TBA – How a Simple Application for a Targeted Brownfields Assessment can Spur Transformation in your Community
Join us for our upcoming webinar on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Targeted Brownfield Assessments (TBA) program, because To Be Honest (TBH) a TBA can likely benefit your community! This program provides cost-free technical assistance (TA) through EPA contractors to conduct brownfield assessment activities such as Phase I & II’s and Assessment of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA). The TBA program is available locally on a rolling basis and unlike a grant, it does not require a lengthy application process.
Brownfield sites are often underutilized or vacant properties with known or perceived contamination that can adversely impact public and environmental health, hinder redevelopment, impede job growth, and diminish community pride. In this webinar, you will learn from case studies that detail how applicants have benefited from TBAs and served as a catalyst for transforming these sites into assets for the community.
Key Takeaways
- Discuss eligibility criteria for TBAs.
- Walk through the application process.
- Outline key factors for a successful application.
- Explore how this TA program facilitates comprehensive site assessments.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to learn how a TBA can be a pivotal resource in revitalizing and enhancing a brownfield site in your community.
