BJAAM's Environmental Professionals possess the expertise to jump start a community's Brownfields redevelopment initiative using available state and federal grants. Since before the real estate market crash, competitive Brownfields grants have been made available through state and federal bi-partisan supported redevelopment initiatives. Communities throughout the nation are now vying for new and existing businesses to call their community home, while concurrently facing the issue of finding available, environmentally uninhibited real estate to support new industry.

BJAAM professionals have proven success in completing awarded grant applications for state and federal programs including the Clean Ohio Grants, Clean Ohio Assistance Fund and Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund, as well as U.S. EPA Grants for Community Wide Assessment and Site Specific Cleanup of petroleum and hazardous waste contaminated properties.

BJAAM's grant writing success has brought clientele millions of dollars in combined state and federal grant funding for environmental assessments, remediation, and redevelopment planning. BJAAM's grant consulting and combined environmental assessment and remediation work has helped transform thousands of acres of former industrial and commercial real estate into viable redevelopment sites. Brownfields redevelopment is a function of the local real estate market, and risk and uncertainty are major factors in an investor's decision-making process -- particularly when environmental contamination is present. BJAAM professionals have spearheaded numerous negotiations with business leaders, environmental agencies, community development organizations, and other bodies of government to create cost-effective Brownfields Initiatives for the reuse of environmentally-inhibited assets.

At the heart of BJAAM's grant program management department is the future and vision of your community. BJAAM professionals are experts at combining the energy of grass roots efforts with the power of monetary infusion to ensure the success of a Brownfield Initiative.

• Reducing environmental costs
• Efficient and timely remediation
• Sustaining property for future use
