1. Brownfield Initiatives in Northwest Indiana – Northwest Indiana Brownfield Coalition –

   Kathy Luther, NIRPC

   Kathy Luther said the coalition members included the RDA, Hammond, Gary and East Chicago. Recommendations in the 2040 Plan included facilitation of mitigation and reuse of brownfield sites, particularly in the core communities and also work with the business sector to encourage voluntary remediation. We have secured $800,000 in EPA funding in 2013 to establish a brownfield revolving loan fund. Site assessments were done as were real estate transaction screens on over 600 parcels in the Gary 12-20 corridor. Challenges being faced include eligibility, types of brownfields, timing, problems with inventories and brownfield funding’s role in the Economic Development Ecosystem. Training was done and a bus tour was held. The brownfield revolving loan fund is open. NIRPC applied for a new coalition assessment grant and is partnering with the Form and the Lake Michigan Marina Shoreline Development Commission.

Work is expected to be completed by 2021.
