This grant for  $300,000 targeted commercial corridors in Campau/Banglatown, Island view/Greater Villages, and Jefferson Chalmers. Through this assessment grant, the City of Detroit BSEED-EA has assessed fourteen properties. These activities have included Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, cleanup planning, and development of a brownfield inventory. At closeout in December 2022, outcomes of the grant included: 6 housing projects, a mixed-use development, and a cultural center. The City and its consultant built a searchable database with customizable queries where site history, reports, and other brownfield data are stored. The database will be expanded as new brownfield sites are identified. The brownfield inventory assists with management, tracking, reporting, prioritizing and marketing of brownfields throughout the City of Detroit.
