Clean Ohio Funding Update

Posted on January 12, 2012 by Vorys

The Clean Ohio Assistance Fund (COAF) has announced that it is no longer accepting applications for grant funding (under $300K).  The Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund (CORF) has enough funds for one more round (due January 20th) for a shot at the remaining $20 million (grant amounts up to $3M). The challenge for Ohio’s elected leadership will be to locate replacement funding for the “liquor sales profits” funding stream that was moved to Jobs Ohio in 2011.

Waterfront Brownfields Grant Program Legislation

Posted on August 6, 2009 by Vorys

On July 31, 2009, Representative Louise Slaughter introduced legislation to amend CERCLA and create a grant program to assist with the investigation and remediation of waterfront brownfield sites. Under the proposal, eligible entities could receive up to $500,000 to assist with the design and implementation of water quality improvements, low impact development approaches, green infrastructure, remediation and management of sediments, or flood damage prevention associated with waterfront brownfields remediation and reuse. The legislation has been referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

A copy of the proposal can be viewed here.
