See you there! Indiana Brownfields Program TPI applications now accepted anytime! With the 2007 U.S. EPA assessment awards, the Indiana Brownfields Program Trails and Parks Initiative (TPI) was developed with its first application round in December 2007. Instead of a second round of TPI applications that was anticipated to be in summer 2008, rolling applications will be implemented with no application deadline. TPI offers Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments to eligible local units of government and non-profit organizations for eligible brownfield sites with trails, parks, or other greenspace/recreational reuse planned. Different from the other financial incentives through the Indiana Brownfields Program, applicants will not receive monies directly; program-contracted consultants will perform assessments for the awarded applicants.
