Summary

The bill raises the maximum grant for each brownfield cleanup from $500,000 to $1 million and doubles the limit for multipurpose grants. It adds trade associations (501(c)(6)) to the list of eligible recipients, allows up to 10% of funds to be used for demolition, and creates technical‑assistance grants for small communities. Regular EPA audits and new award criteria are also included to improve oversight and target redevelopment, including former military lands.
