PRESS RELEASE

GOVERNOR PATERSON ANNOUNCES $10 MILLION IN BROWNFIELD OPPORTUNITY AREAS 
PROGRAM GRANTS

Governor David A. Paterson today announced more than $10 million in 
Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program grants for 24 projects located in 
communities across the State. These grants support environmental 
remediation, community revitalization, job creation and the expansion of 
the tax base in neighborhoods that have been adversely affected by 
multiple brownfield sites or economic distress.

"The State's Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program provides critically 
needed resources to transform thousands of brownfields and other dormant 
properties back to productive use to generate jobs for New Yorkers and 
revenues for local governments," Governor Paterson said. "This program 
lays the foundation for sustained community redevelopment by putting 
solid strategies and investment priorities in place."
