KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE
KNOXVILLE’S ARC EXPERIENCE
The Office of Redevelopment's Vision for Brownfields:
Appropriate redevelopment to bring vitality and livability back to those parts
- f the community that have seen economic decline – and create safe, secure,
healthy neighborhoods where mixed-use development thrives
- 2009 Area Wide Assessment for the South Waterfront
- $400,000 for petroleum & hazardous
- 2011 Area Wide Assessment for Downtown North
- $400,000 for petroleum & hazardous
- 2015 Targeted Brownfield Assessment for McClung Warehouses
- $96,000 for Phase I, Phase II and draft ABCA
- 2016 Cleanup grants for Sanitary Laundry and McClung Warehouses
- $200,000 EPA/$40,000 local for Sanitary
- $150,000 EPA/$30,000 local for McClung
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- EPA Assessment Grant Process
- All field work – completed
- All reports – finalized in 2014
- All relevant data entered into ACRES Database
- Consultant will keep records of deliverables for 7 years
- City used the services of 4 disadvantaged businesses for assessment grants:
- Brown Pearman Russell, LLC – communications and newsletters
- ES&H – environmental testing
- Taylor Structural Imaging - geophysical services for utility and fuel line scanning
- Graphic Creations – printing of final report
- City of Knoxville has been invited to share this information at conferences in
Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Illinois
- Used TBA grant and assessment grant to conduct draft ABCA’s and secure
2016 EPA Cleanup Grants for two key sites (currently in process)
PLANNING
- Partner EPA grants with opportunity areas where
studies and plans have already been conducted
- Pull from American Community Survey for
statistical information
- Utilize census data and other reports to support
the community need
- Clearly identify the need and how resources will
be used to meet the need
PARTNERSHIPS
Due to prior planning in both the South Waterfront and Downtown North districts relationships and common goals were established, important when seeking letters of support:
- State Agency for Environment (TDEC)
- Community Development agencies (KCDC)
- Industrial Development board/the development corporation
- Neighborhood organizations
- Business organizations
- Community Design Center
- Churches
- Non profits
- Health Department
LEVERAGING
- EPA has noted that on average for every $1 spent on
brownfield grants yields $18 of private investment.
- Partnering a redevelopment area (allows for TIF and
eminent domain), brownfield grant, new zoning
- rdinance and public improvements in the South
Waterfront leveraged a $165 million private investment on a 23 acre vacant, former hospital and brownfield site where the city used about $150,000 assessment funds for Phase I and II ESA’s and LBP&A assessment.
- That’s a $1100 return for every EPA dollar invested!
FORMER HOSPITAL DEMOLITION
LBP & ASBESTOS REMOVAL
DEMO AND RECYCLING
NEW STRUCTURES
SUCCESS YIELDS SUCCESS
- Successfully completing the assessment grants
set the stage for reinvestment and additional grant awards
- EPA likes to see progression from assessment, to
cleanup, to revolving loan funds or other successful programs
WRITERS OF THE BEST ARC…

talk to potential partners
- Review previous successful applications
- Identify roles and responsibilities: who do you need for this grant?
- For Knoxville internally: Redevelopment, Engineering, Purchasing, Community

- Do you need consultants to assist with grant writing or data collection?
- Talk to their state representatives early and often
- Participate in the webinars and trainings offered by EPA
- Familiarize themselves with the websites associated with the grant
- Do not wait to upload information for grant applications until the last day
