The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has awarded Maury County a check for $20,000 as part of the Brownfield Redevelopment Area Grants (BRAG) program. This funding is intended to assist Maury County in identifying key sites for redevelopment within the community. The grant is one of 36 awarded across the state, and was announced in July.
The BRAG grants are supported by the Rural Brownfield Redevelopment Investment Act. This act is designed to protect the environment and create economic opportunities, particularly in rural areas. It provides local governments and development boards with the necessary resources for the investigation, cleanup, and redevelopment of properties that have become blighted.
