The Tax Base Revitalization Account (TBRA) provides funding to investigate and clean up brownfields — contaminated land, ground water, or buildings — for redevelopment.

TBRA Grant Programs: 

Successful TBRA applications support redevelopment that eliminates or reduces the risk from contamination, increase the tax base, and create or preserve jobs or affordable housing. There are three TBRA grant categories:  

• Seeing Equitable Environmental Development (SEED) grants are intended for sites within equitable development areas, as determined by the Council, that show potential for job creation or housing development but do not have a specific redevelopment project in progress, and are seeking public funding for site investigation, partial cleanup, or both. 
  
• Site Investigation grants are intended for applicants that have a redevelopment site with suspected or perceived contamination and are seeking public funding to determine the scope and severity of the contamination and to develop a cleanup plan for a specific project.  
• Cleanup grants are intended for applicants with projects that have recently completed their environmental site investigation or interior abatement assessment and are seeking public funding to assist with the cost of implementing a cleanup or abatement plan.

More about each grant type can be found in the corresponding Program Essentials in Supporting Documents below.

• Others (see text field entitled "Additional Eligibility Criteria" for clarification)
