Teams
A limited number of communities will receive on-site technical assistance from a team of finance and technical experts and CDFA staff. These visits will offer specific, actionable advice that can transform brownfields into economic assets. Communities must participate in a project marketplace to be eligible, and will be selected through an application submission process.
