Welcome to the City of Greenville's EPA Brownfields Program website. Here you will find information about program events and accomplishments.

These meetings are a great place to learn more about the City's brownfields activities and provide feedback.

The City of Greenville, North Carolina, received a $200,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2007 to address brownfields potentially contaminated by hazardous substances and another $200,000 grant in 2009 to address brownfields potentially contaminated by petroleum. The grant funds will be used to complete a brownfields inventory, assess selected brownfield properties in the West Greenville Redevelopment area, and conduct community outreach and visioning activities. These efforts will facilitate the transition of former manufacturing facilities, processing centers, and other sites to new, useful purposes. The redevelopment of these properties will spur economic growth and create jobs while protecting the environment.
