SECOG awarded grant from EPA for Brownfield assessments

We are proud to announce that SECOG, in partnership with the Eastern CT Land Bank (ECLB) and CT Resource Conservation and Development Area (CT RC&D), has been awarded $1.2 million through EPA’s Brownfield Assessment Coalition Grant Program to support environmental assessment, community engagement, and redevelopment planning in Preston, Windham, and Sprague. 

Working closely with project partners, municipal leaders, community members, and property owners, we anticipate these environmental assessments and strategic reuse planning efforts will help bring long-dormant properties back into active use.
