罗得岛州开放250万美元棕地清理补助申请：住房项目优先，12月11日截止
罗得岛州环境管理部11月2日在普罗维登斯县普罗维登斯市宣布，全州提供250万美元补助，用于清理和再开发受污染地块（棕地），申请自11月2日起受理，截至12月11日下午4时，须以电子方式提交，不接受纸质申请。政府机构、私营公司和非营利组织均可申请，项目将竞争性评选。
这笔资金是2024年绿色债券中500万美元棕地清理资金的首轮拨付，该债券获得近70%罗得岛选民支持。本轮补助优先考虑增加住房的项目：提供可负担住房或市场价住房的再开发计划在评分中将获优先。该项目此前已向17个社区的87个项目拨款逾2000万美元。
环境管理部主任 Terry Gray 表示，棕地是罗得岛州把环境问题转化为经济与社区资产的最清晰机会之一。此外，列入11月3日选票第五号问题的2026年绿色经济债券还包括300万美元棕地清理与再开发配套补助，若获通过，将为后续轮次提供资金。

Rhode Island Opens $2.5 Million in Brownfield Cleanup Grants: Housing Projects Favored, Applications Due December 11
The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management announced in Providence, Providence County, on November 2 that $2.5 million is available statewide to clean up and redevelop contaminated brownfield properties. Applications opened November 2 and are due by 4 p.m. on December 11, must be submitted electronically, and paper applications will not be accepted. Government agencies, private companies and nonprofit groups are eligible, and projects will be chosen competitively.
The money is the first round from $5 million for brownfield cleanup in the 2024 Green Bond, which nearly 70% of Rhode Island voters approved. This round favors projects that add housing, with redevelopment plans providing affordable or market-rate housing scored favorably. The program has previously awarded more than $20 million to 87 projects in 17 communities.
Department Director Terry Gray said brownfields are one of Rhode Island's clearest opportunities to turn an environmental problem into an economic and community asset. The proposed 2026 Green Economy Bond, Question 5 on the November 3 ballot, includes another $3 million in matching brownfield grants that would fund later rounds if approved.
