A team that includes FSU’s Kelly Kinahan has won a grant from EPA’s Brownfields Revitalization Anti-Displacement Strategies Program. The project focuses on applying equity-centered and economically inclusive anti-displacement strategies to properties where reuse is complicated by the presence of a hazardous substance or contaminant (i.e., brownfields).

“The BRADs Program represents an important expansion of the EPA’s commitment to minimizing displacement and gentrification resulting from brownfields reuse, and more generally thinking about the relationships between brownfields and environmental justice,” says Kinahan. The team will conduct research on gentrification issues and provide guidance and technical assistance on anti-displacement practices.
