Rep. Holmes Highlights Brownfield Remediation Application Period

State Representative Adam Holmes (R-Nashport) today highlighted that the Brownfield Remediation Program Application period is now open, with approximately $120 million available through the program.

“We continue to look for ways to support local revitalization and business development efforts across Ohio,” said Holmes. “The Brownfield Remediation Program is another tool to help local leaders re-invest in our communities, grow opportunities, and improve the quality of life for everyone.”   

In House Bill 96, Ohio’s State Operating Budget, the legislature allocated $200 million over the biennium for the Brownfield Remediation Program, which has proven successful in helping local communities repurpose existing sites for future projects that can create jobs and stimulate the economy. 

Eligible applicants include “Lead Entities,” which are counties, townships, municipal corporations, port authorities, district parks, county land reutilization corporations, or organizations for profit. 

Since 2021, the program has supported over 900 projects in 87 counties, awarding nearly $800 million in funding.
