Brownfield Grants and Loans
Brownfield Grants and Loans
Brownfield grants and loans are available from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy for projects that promote economic development and reuse blighted and contaminated properties. Grants and loans can be used for environmental assessments and cleanups at properties with known or suspected contamination. EGLE grants and loans can help communities:
- Revitalize abandoned properties and return them to tax rolls
- Attract developers to brownfields, creating jobs and investment, and increasing nearby property values
- Limit sprawl by reusing properties with existing infrastructure

Current and Completed Grants and Loans
Grants and loans can pay for:
- Up to $1 million grant and $1 million loan per project, or more for projects with significant economic or environmental benefits
- Grants are available to determine whether a property with redevelopment potential is contaminated, and for due care and cleanup at contaminated properties with a specific redevelopment, when economic benefits will exceed the grant amount
- Loans may be used at properties with suspected contamination and economic development potential
- Grants cannot benefit a party responsible for an activity causing contamination. Loans may be available when a responsible party will benefit, but with some restrictions.
