The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) recently released a funding opportunity for state, local and tribal governments to identify, address, and improve public health with the redevelopment of Brownfield and/or land reuse sites.
This program addresses the “Healthy People 2020” focus area(s) of Quality Health Care Services, Educational and Community-Based Programs, Environmental Health, Health Communication, Mental Health and Mental Disorders, Nutrition and Overweight, Occupational Safety and Health, Physical Activity and Fitness, and Public Health Infrastructure.
