If awarded, this grant would be available for identification and assessment of brownfields sites throughout our region, making them eligible for clean-up and redevelopment. The grant funds would be used only for parties interested in pursuing brownfields identification and remediation. In order to have the best chances of receiving funding under this grant, the WFRPC needs to show support and commitment from partners throughout our seven county region, and we are requesting a letter of support for this purpose. Providing a signed letter of support for the WFRPC application would not obligate participation in the program, but may increase the WFRPC’s ability to receive the grant, and to provide funding to supporters who do want to participate. An additional factor in this year’s application process will be the commitments made by local agencies for activities such as helping to identify potential sites for assessment and redevelopment, to market the Brownfields program locally on your website or by posting information in offices, or to provide assistance in public outreach and involvement either through direct participation or in donating meeting spaces. Please include in your letter any commitment that you are able to make towards the success of this program. I am including a draft letter of support as an example. If you are willing to support the West Florida Regional Planning Council’s application for the FY 2015 EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant, please complete the letter on your letterhead, sign, and return a copy to the West Florida Regional Planning Council by December 12, 2015. This can be done by scanning and emailing a copy in a reply to this email. Please do not send the letter directly to the EPA, as it will need to be included in our application package to be considered. If you have any questions, please let me know. My contact information can be found at the bottom of this email. Packet Pg. 131 Thank you for your consideration, Kate Daniel Kate W.
