Grant Funds
EPA announced in June 2017, that Framingham was 1 of 172 grants selected in the nation for Brownfield's funding! This $300,000 grant will run through September 2020.
This new grant funding will continue the work of our Southeast Framingham Brownfield Plan (PDF). We will also continue with conducting environmental testing across the City. If you are aware of a property that could benefit from this, please click the "Assessment Application" button on the left!
