Brownfield
Revolving Loan and Grant Fund
DeKalb County’s Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) program provides funds
for removing contaminated soil, petroleum and hazardous waste at abandoned
or underused properties, called Brownfields. In 2012, DeKalb County secured a
$900K Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund grant to address hazardous and
petroleum sites. An additional $300K was awarded in 2015 to continue work
on Brownfield properties.
The Decide DeKalb Development Authority administers the following funds for Brownfield cleanups to those who qualify:
- $900,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency
- $300,000 supplemental grant
