Business Surveys

Rancho Cordova has been awarded grants totaling $400,000 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to assess and mitigate pollution in the south Sunrise and Folsom Boulevard corridors.

The two brownfield assessment grants will be used to conduct environmental site assessments and to address issues with petroleum contamination. Brownfields are abandoned or under-used industrial and commercial properties where redevelopment is complicated by possible environmental contamination.

The sites contain an estimated 15 hazardous substances sites and 44 petroleum release sites, encompassing 6,445 acres within in the city.

It is the first time the city’s redevelopment agency has applied for the competitive grants.
