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.  

Interested applicants can download the TPI Guidelines and Application at
