[CPEO-BIF] Nevada Grant Training workshops

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

An Announcement for Free Grant Training Workshops

National Brownfields Program
Competitive Site Assessment and Site Cleanup Grants

Hosted by:

The US Environmental Protection Agency
and
The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection


The Brownfields Program was created by the US Environmental Protection 
Agency to help communities deal with abandoned or idle properties where 
environmental contamination may be presenting an obstacle to reuse or 
redevelopment of the land.  The program focuses on sites where either 
real or perceived contamination by hazardous substances or petroleum 
products from past site uses serves to limit reinvestment or development 
interest.

Grants are available through a competitive process to eligible entities 
including local government agencies, quasi-municipal entities (including 
General Improvement Districts and Redevelopment Agencies), and 
non-profit groups.  Grants are made available for the following activities:

* Community-wide Assessment
* Site-Specific Assessment
* Site-Specific Cleanup Grants

The Grant Training Workshops are being held to help eligible entities 
prepare the competitive grants in accordance with the grant guidelines 
published by the US EPA.  This will include a discussion of eligibility 
criteria for applicants and sites, application formatting, scoring 
criteria, and important points of emphasis.  The grant guidelines will 
be presented by a member of the US EPA Region IX Brownfields Team.
