Land Revitalization
The safe and sustainable reuse of previously contaminated properties is supported through EPA's Land Revitalization (LR) Program.
EPA’s LR Program helps remove barriers to contaminated property redevelopment. When a property once again becomes an asset to the community, the redevelopment often brings about new opportunities to protect public health, improve the environment and grow the local economy.
