The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has awarded Bedford County a $20,000 grant as part of the Brownfield Redevelopment Area Grants (BRAG) program. This funding will be utilized by Bedford County to identify and prioritize sites for redevelopment. The grant is one of 36 brownfield redevelopment grants announced across the state in July.
The BRAG program is supported by the Rural Brownfield Redevelopment Investment Act, which aims to protect the environment while creating economic opportunities, particularly in rural areas. The legislation provides local governments and development boards with the necessary resources for the investigation, cleanup, and redevelopment of blighted properties.
