The Brownfield Remediation Program and the Building Demolition and Site Revitalization programs were both launched in 2021 and combined have invested nearly $1 billion in the clean-up, revitalization, and redevelopment of hundreds of blighted properties throughout the state of Ohio.

HB519 would direct between $50 -$100M in funds each year for a new brownfield program modeled after the previous Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund, considered by many to be the ‘gold standard’ of brownfield programs in the United States.
