The Greene County Industrial Development Authority (GCIDA) has been working to complete environmental assessments and reclamation of brownfield sites across the County.

The US EPA defines a “brownfield” as any property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant, including mine-scarred land.

The GCIDA has led this program and initiated the Greene County Brownfields Advisory Committee (GC-BRAC). The GC-BRAC hosts quarterly public meetings which are advertised on Facebook and the local newspapers, to provide the opportunity for the public to provide input for redevelopment goals. Public comment will be accepted via email, telephone or during the meeting.

The next GC-BRAC meeting will be held June 14th at 10AM at the Greene County Office Building.

The GCIDA was recently awarded Community-wide Assessment grant in the amount of $500,000, which will allow the county to continue assessing sites. An inventory of sites has been complied which will be reviewed/updated. Phase I and Phase II assessments can be completed for sites that show promise for development.
The second award is the Cleanup Grant in the amount of $500,000 with a $100,000 County Match for a total of $600,000. The Cleanup Grant will remove and dispose of some of the railroad ties at the Mather Gateway site in Morgan Township.
