EPA Brownfields Program in Denison
Brownfields are underutilized or abandoned properties where future development is complicated by the perception or actual presence of environmental contaminants. The sites are often avoided by private investors due to lingering financial and/or legal concerns. Examples of common brownfields include former gas stations, dry cleaners, auto repair shops, manufacturing operations, warehouses, or illegal dumping areas.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Brownfields Program is designed to empower states, cities, tribes, communities, and other stakeholders in economic redevelopment to work together in a timely manner to assess, safely cleanup, and sustainably reuse brownfields. EPA awarded the City of Denison a $400,000 Community-Wide Assessment Grant in 2022. These funds allow the City to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct cleanup planning
on targeted brownfields.
