Update: Deadline extended to May 15.
Grow America in partnership with the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), has been selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to deliver specialized technical assistance to existing and prospective Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Grant recipients nationwide. This initiative provides training, peer learning, and capacity-building support to help communities understand and successfully manage RLF programs.
The purpose of this grant-funded program is to build national RLF capacity by:
- Providing RLF-specific technical assistance that addresses the unique complexities of EPA Brownfield RLF Grants.
- Helping communities new to brownfield redevelopment understand program requirements.
- Strengthening the skills of existing RLF Cooperative Agreement Recipients (CARs) to more effectively manage their programs during both open grant periods and post-closeout operations.
To support these goals, Grow America seeks qualified speakers, subject-matter experts, and facilitators to contribute to national and regional training events, virtual sessions, peer exchanges, and resource development activities under the Technical Assistance for Brownfields (TAB) collaboration.
