From July 2022 to March 2026, the Local Infrastructure Hub supported 6,950+ local officials across 2,500+ cities nationwide, providing workshops, one-on-one expert support and practical tools to strengthen grant applications and implementation.
Though the Hub’s programming has ended, the content and learnings it provided are still relevant. The National League of Cities has collected these resources into an archive and invites its members to explore the ongoing grant programs for videos, fact sheets, and more resources that will help you access federal funding opportunities.
The Brownfields grant program has supported environmental remediation since 1993. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2022 added $1.5 billion over a five-year period to EPA’s annual brownfields appropriation, which helps communities assess, clean up, and reuse contaminated properties. The Brownfields Reauthorization Act of 2025 authorized an additional $375 million over a six-year period, ending in 2030.
Cleanup Grants support remediation of contaminated sites owned by the applicant. Multipurpose Grants serve communities working to address multiple brownfield sites within a defined area. Community-wide Assessment Grants provide funding for planning, site inventories, environmental reviews, site assessments, and development of cleanup and reuse plans. Assessment Coalition Grants allow one eligible “lead” entity to partner with two to four eligible partners to jointly assess brownfield sites, coordinate site inventories, assessments, and redevelopment planning.
