Sec. 82. Section 32-763 of the general statutes is repealed and the 2083
following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2025): 2084
(a) There is established a remedial action and redevelopment 2085

brownfield assessment projects or distinct phases thereof, and (C) 2093
reasonable administrative expenses not to exceed five per cent of any 2094
grant awarded. A grant awarded under this [subsection] section shall 2095
not exceed [four] six million dollars for a project site or distinct phase 2096

of this subsection, except, notwithstanding such limit and the provisions 2098
of subdivision (6) of this subsection, additional grant awards may be 2099
made that exceed such limit to related but distinct phases of a project or 2100
project addresses if separate applications are submitted under 2101
subdivision (4) of this subsection. 2102
(2) A grant applicant shall submit an application for a grant under 2103
this subsection to the Commissioner of Economic and Community 2104
Development on forms provided by the commissioner and with such 2105
information the commissioner deems necessary, including, but not 2106
limited to: (A) A description of the proposed project or a distinct phase 2107
Governor's Bill No. 1247
LCO No. 4366 76 of 85
thereof; (B) an explanation of the expected benefits of the project in 2108
relation to the purposes of this section; (C) information concerning the 2109
financial and technical capacity of the applicant to undertake the 2110

(3) The commissioner may approve, reject or modify any application 2115
properly submitted in accordance with the provisions of this subsection. 2116
The commissioner may not reject an application solely because a 2117
municipality has submitted more than one application in response to a 2118
request for applications. In reviewing an application and determining 2119
the amount of the grant, if any, to be provided, the commissioner shall 2120
consider the following criteria: (A) The availability of funds; (B) the 2121
estimated costs of assessing and remediating the brownfield, if known; 2122

brownfield is located; (D) the relative need of the project for financial 2124
assistance; (E) the degree to which a grant under this subsection is 2125
necessary to induce the applicant to undertake the project; (F) the public 2126
health and environmental benefits of the project; (G) the relative benefits 2127
of the project to the municipality, the region and the state, including, but 2128
not limited to, the extent to which the project will likely result in a 2129
contribution to the municipality's tax base, the retention and creation of 2130
jobs and the reduction of blight; (H) the time frame in which the 2131
contamination occurred; (I) the relationship of the applicant to the 2132
person or entity that caused the contamination; (J) the length of time the 2133
brownfield has been abandoned; (K) the taxes owed and the projected 2134
revenues that may be restored to the community; (L) the relative need 2135
for assessment of the brownfield within the municipality or region; (M) 2136
whether the brownfield is located in a federally designated opportunity 2137
zone; and (N) such other criteria as the commissioner may establish 2138
consistent with the purposes of this subsection. 2139
(4) The commissioner shall award grants under this subsection on a 2140
Governor's Bill No. 1247
LCO No. 4366 77 of 85
competitive basis, based on a request for applications occurring at least 2141
twice annually. The commissioner may increase the frequency of 2142
requests for applications and awards depending upon the number of 2143
applicants and the availability of funding. A [municipality] grant 2144
applicant may submit more than one application in response to a 2145
request for applications. On and after July 1, [2019] 2025, the 2146
commissioner [shall] may give priority to grant applications for 2147
brownfields located in federally designated opportunity zones. 2148
(5) If a grant recipient under this subsection is not subject to section 2149
22a-134a, such recipient shall enter a program for remediation of the 2150
property pursuant to either section 22a-133x, 22a-133y, 32-768 or 32-769, 2151
as determined by the commissioner, except no such recipient shall be 2152
required to enter such a program if the grant funds are used (A) for the 2153
abatement of hazardous building materials and such recipient 2154
demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioners of Economic and 2155
Community Development and Energy and Environmental Protection 2156
that such hazardous building materials represent the sole or sole 2157
remaining environmental contamination on the property, (B) solely for 2158
assessment of the brownfield, [or] (C) as provided in subdivision (7) of 2159
this subsection, or (D) for remediation actions that are not site-wide and 2160
will not benefit from being in a program for remediation. 2161
(6) The commissioner, in consultation with the Commissioner of 2162
Energy and Environmental Protection and following the award of a 2163
grant under this subsection to a municipality, Connecticut brownfield 2164
land bank or economic development agency pursuant to subdivisions 2165
(3) and (4) of this subsection, may award an additional grant under this 2166
subsection to such municipality, Connecticut brownfield land bank or 2167
economic development agency to enable the completion of a brownfield 2168
remediation or assessment project, provided such project is identified as 2169
a priority by said commissioners and such additional grant funds (A) 2170
will be used to address unexpected cost overruns or costs related to 2171
remedial activities that will provide a greater environmental benefit 2172
than originally proposed pursuant to subdivision (2) of this subsection, 2173
Governor's Bill No. 1247
LCO No. 4366 78 of 85
[(B) do not exceed fifty per cent of the original grant, and (C)] and (B) 2174
will not result in more than four million dollars in total grants being 2175
awarded under this section for a single brownfield remediation or 2176
assessment project or for a project site or distinct phase thereof. If the 2177
projected need for additional funding identified in the course of 2178
implementing the project exceeds fifty per cent of the original grant 2179
award or six million dollars, a new application may be made under 2180
subdivision (4) of this subsection, provided proof is provided to the 2181
satisfaction of the commissioner that (i) new parcels have been added to 2182
the original project, (ii) the budget required to complete the remediation 2183
actions has increased due to issues identified during remediation action 2184
work, or (iii) the initial scope of remediation action has been altered or 2185
expanded. 2186
(7) The commissioner may award grants under this subsection to any 2187
municipality, Connecticut brownfield land bank, economic 2188
development agency or regional council of governments organized 2189
under sections 4-124i to 4-124p, inclusive, for the eligible costs of 2190
developing a comprehensive plan for the remediation and 2191
redevelopment of multiple brownfields whenever such plan is 2192
consistent with the state plan of conservation and development, 2193
adopted pursuant to chapter 297, and the plan of conservation and 2194
development, adopted pursuant to section 8-23, for each municipality 2195
in which such brownfields are located. For purposes of this subsection, 2196
"eligible costs" shall also include expenditures associated with the 2197
development of any such plan for remediation and redevelopment. 2198
(c) (1) The commissioner may award capacity building grants for 2199
operational expenses to any Connecticut brownfield land bank, 2200
provided such land bank (A) matches any state funds awarded pursuant 2201
to this subsection, and (B) has not previously been awarded a capacity 2202
building grant under this subsection. A grant awarded under this 2203
subsection shall not exceed fifty thousand dollars. 2204
(2) Any Connecticut brownfield land bank may apply to the 2205
Governor's Bill No. 1247
LCO No. 4366 79 of 85
Commissioner of Economic and Community Development, in the form 2206
and manner prescribed by the commissioner, for a capacity building 2207
grant in an amount indicated by the Connecticut brownfield land bank. 2208
The Connecticut brownfield land bank shall include such information 2209
the commissioner deems necessary to determine whether to award such 2210
capacity building grant, in whole or in part, and to verify that such land 2211
bank has sufficient funds to match such amount and has not previously 2212
been awarded a capacity building grant under this subsection. 2213
(d) The provisions of sections 32-5a and 32-701 shall not apply to 2214
grants provided pursuant to this section. 2215
Sec. 83. Section 32-765 of the general statutes is repealed and the 2216
following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2025): 2217

low-interest loans for the eligible costs of brownfield remediation 2220
projects to potential brownfield purchasers and current brownfield 2221
owners who (1) have no direct or related liability for the conditions of 2222
the brownfield, and (2) seek to develop brownfields for purposes of 2223
reducing blight or for industrial, commercial, residential or mixed use 2224
development. 2225
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a current owner of 2226
a brownfield on which a manufacturing facility is located shall be 2227

Governor's Bill No. 1247
LCO No. 4366 80 of 85
432, 22a-433, 22a-451 or 22a-452 with respect to the property; or (4) has 2237
been found guilty of knowingly or wilfully violating any environmental 2238
law. 2239
(c) An applicant for a loan pursuant to this section shall submit an 2240

provide loans based upon project merit and viability, the economic and 2251
community development opportunity, municipal support, contribution 2252
to the community's tax base, past experience of the applicant, 2253
compliance history and ability to pay. For applications received on and 2254
after July 1, [2019] 2025, the commissioner [shall] may give priority to 2255

section 22a-133x, 22a-133y, 32-768 or 32-769, as determined by the 2259
commissioner, except if the loan funds are used (1) for the abatement of 2260
hazardous building materials and such recipient demonstrates to the 2261
satisfaction of the Commissioners of Economic and Community 2262
Development and Energy and Environmental Protection that such 2263
hazardous building materials represent the sole or sole remaining 2264
environmental contamination on the property, or (2) for remediation 2265
actions that are not site-wide and will not benefit from being in a 2266
program for remediation. 2267
(e) Loans made pursuant to this section shall have such terms and 2268
Governor's Bill No. 1247
LCO No. 4366 81 of 85

forward as an encumbrance to the purchaser with the same terms and 2276
conditions as the original loan. 2277
(g) A loan recipient may be eligible for a loan of not more than [four] 2278
six million dollars per year, subject to agency underwriting and 2279
reasonable and customary requirements to assure performance. If 2280

interest of the state from an economic or community development 2288
perspective. 2289
