to assist local governments, nonprofit organizations and the private
sector in economic development efforts.
The Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI) was enacted
in section 108(q) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974,
as amended. Eligible applicants include units of general local
government eligible for assistance under the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program, as well as urban counties that are eligible
under the CDBG program. Each unit of general local government or CDBG-
eligible urban county must use its BEDI award to enhance the security
of a loan guaranteed by HUD under section 108 of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, for the same project, or
to improve the viability of a project financed with the section 108-
guaranteed loan. The Brownfields Economic Development Initiative
provides each grantee up to $2,000,000 for the redevelopment of
abandoned, idled or underutilized industrial or commercial facilities
where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived
environmental contamination.
