The Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund is a key financial component to help a community build economic capacity by providing funding for brownfield redevelopment. Brownfield redevelopment allows a community to reclaim and improve its lands, making property viable for new development.
The Clean Ohio Assistance Fund is an annual appropriation dedicated to brownfield redevelopment in Eligible Areas.
The Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) capitalized by a grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) offers below-market rate loans to assist with the remediation of a brownfield property to return it to a productive economic use in the community.
The Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) is responsible for supporting the legislated Clean Ohio Council. The Clean Ohio Council was created to select projects that will receive grants and low-interest loans from the Clean Ohio Fund. The COC consists of the director of development, the director of environmental protection, the lieutenant governor, one member of the majority party of the senate and one member of the minority party of the senate to be appointed by the president of the senate, one member of the majority party of the house of representatives and one member of the minority party of the house of representatives to be appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives and seven members appointed by the Governor. The seven members represent local governments, business and development interests and environmental advocacy organizations. The Director of the Ohio Public Works Commission serves as a nonvoting member.
OUD sponsors and supports training opportunities for communities and other entities interested in our programs.
