Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI) grants and Section 108 loans provide funds for property acquisition, environmental cleanup, economic development activities, public infrastructure, and public facilities development. BEDI grants are awarded on a competitive basis to either Entitlement Communities (State or local governments receiving CDBG formula funding) or Non-Entitlement areas via their State's CDBG program office. Grantees receive BEDI grants that are leveraged by Section 108 loan funds. BEDI funds primarily benefit low-income residents in and around brownfields by increasing economic opportunity or stimulating and retaining businesses and jobs that lead to economic revitalization
