Programs
The Center for Creative Land Recycling helps those who have the biggest stake in revitalizing their neighborhoods —including nonprofit housing developers, community-based organizations, and municipalities with limited resources— with their brownfield redevelopment efforts.
CCLR’s approach to revitalizing communities is unique in that it includes both project-specific and policy level programs, each informing the other for change. CCLR offers a variety of programs and services, both nationally and through a cooperative agreement with EPA Regions 9 and 10.
Through our programs, CCLR is able to provide no-cost technical assistance for brownfield reuse to eligible entities within our service area.
