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)

slide-59
SLIDE 59

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

slide-60
SLIDE 60

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
slide-61
SLIDE 61

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!
