Brownfields Economic Development Initiative
As a result of difficulties applicants have had in submitting applications
this year under the HUD SuperNOFA, the Brownfields Economic Development
Initiative (BEDI) program competition has re-opened; the new deadline is August
25, 2005. For this year's competition for a total of $24 million in grants,
applicants may submit applications either electronically or on paper. Please see
http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/nofa05/reopenings.cfm for links
to re-opening announcements and application information for this program. Since
1998, the BEDI program has helped communities redevelop abandoned or
underutilized property where redevelopment is complicated by the presence or
potential presence of contamination.
