Coconino County and the City of Flagstaff are seeking nominations for commercial and industrial properties that could benefit from a free environmental assessment.
The assessments are typically performed on underutilized and vacant, or abandoned, buildings and properties to help speed their potential redevelopment and reuse.
In 2024, Coconino County and the Northern Arizona Council of Governments (NACOG) were awarded a $1,500,000 grant through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Brownfields Program to benefit the counties of Coconino, Mohave, Navajo and Yavapai, as well as all their cities and towns, including Flagstaff, Prescott, Camp Verde, Kingman, Show Low and Winslow.
The grant鈥檚 primary purpose is to aid the transformation of local properties from liabilities into community assets.
The grant provides the means for approved sites to have a free Phase I and/or Phase II environmental assessment, or asbestos and lead-based paint sampling of buildings, and to develop cleanup plans for future redevelopment opportunities. All information is provided to the owner and there is no obligation for an action.
Grant funding for the Northern Arizona Property Reuse and Redevelopment Program will be available through September 2028 or until the funds are exhausted. Because the funds are available on a first鈥揷ome, first鈥搒erved basis, property owners, business owners, developers and community members are encouraged to complete and submit a site nomination form as soon as possible.
