Green Municipal Fund - Brownfields Sector Funding
Last updated on September 16, 2020Description
The Green Municipal Fund (GMF) offered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) provides funding and knowledge services to support sustainable community development. GMF-supported initiatives aim to improve air, water, and soil, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Brownfield Site Redevelopment project funds capital projects for initiatives that bring a brownfield site back into economically productive use. You can access brownfield-specific funding if your initiative will be constructed on a remediated brownfield site and it meets the requirements of a capital project listed in FCM's funding library under energy, transportation, waste or water.
A brownfield is an abandoned, vacant, derelict or underutilized commercial, institutional or industrial property where past actions have resulted in actual or perceived contamination or a threat to public health and safety, and where there is an active potential for redevelopment.
Special Requirements
Examples of eligible projects:
- A new, energy-efficient recreational centre built on a remediated brownfield
- A waste diversion facility constructed on a remediated brownfield
- A district energy system constructed on a brownfield
All Canadian municipal governments are eligible to apply.
