Brownfield Grants

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) offers Brownfield grants and loans to support projects that promote economic development and reuse blighted and contaminated properties. These funds are available for environmental assessments and cleanups at properties with known or suspected contamination. The program aims to revitalize abandoned properties, attract developers, create jobs, and increase nearby property values while limiting urban sprawl by reusing properties with existing infrastructure. Grants can provide up to $1 million per project, with potential for higher amounts for projects with significant economic or environmental benefits. Loans are also available for properties with suspected contamination and development potential.
