LDEQ Brownfields Program

LDEQ Brownfields Program is a department located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, operating as part of the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. The organization employs 1 individual and generates approximately $2.5 million in annual revenue. LDEQ Brownfields Program focuses on revitalizing vacant properties known as brownfields. These sites, often burdened by environmental concerns, hinder redevelopment efforts. The program collaborates with federal, state, and local entities to address environmental challenges, particularly financial and regulatory obstacles, associated with brownfields. A key aspect of the program's approach is assisting local governments and communities in navigating the complex environmental processes involved in brownfields redevelopment. This includes providing guidance and support throughout the stages of investigation, cleanup, and ultimately, transforming these properties into valuable assets for communities.
