SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI) is administered by the Office of Economic Development under the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The Office of Economic Development administers HUD's ongoing grant programs to assist local governments, nonprofit organizations and the private sector in economic development efforts.
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 BEDI program provides each grantee funding for the redevelopment of abandoned, idled or underutilized industrial or commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by environmental contamination as defined by the NOFA in each fiscal year.
On March 8, 2006, (71 FR 11712) HUD published a Super Notice of Funding Availability (SuperNOFA) announcing the availability of approximately $10,000,000 in FY 2006 funds for the BEDI program. The Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications received based on the criteria in the SuperNOFA. As a result, HUD funded the applications announced below, and, in accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, U.S.C. 3545), the Department is publishing details concerning the recipients of funding awards, as set forth below.
