1.a.i Example: 1.a.i. Background & Description of Target Area : Louisiana’s rich cultural tapestry is woven along the Mississippi River Basin, a complex river, bayou & wetland system. Most of our communities are in close proximity to water bodies, used for transport, food & commercial ent erprises. That proximity supports our livelihood but, wit h increasing frequency, also puts us at risk. Heavy rainfall in 2015, 2016 & 2019 as well as six maj or hurricanes since 2005 caused catastrophic flooding impacting every parish (county) in the state, taxing local resources & creating widespread Brownfield sites, including historic buildings with lead & asbestos and neighborhood ret ail establishments where owners lacked resources to rebuild. Added to this, Louisiana’s economy is heavily dependent on the oil & gas industry. Both the 1980s oil price crash & the drop in oil prices in the past 5 years significantly deflated the state economy as well as local t ax bases. Operations halted, people were laid off or moved away, & support businesses, including gas stations, dry cleaners & manufacturing facilities, were abandoned leaving Brownfields for local governments with diminished tax revenues to address. Confronting Brownfields created by flooding &/ or economic conditions will remove environmental hazards from our communities, encourage sustainable reuse to prevent repeat flooding losses & diversify local economies. 40
1.a.i Example: Collaborating with local partners, this grant will restart Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality’s (LDEQ’s) Brownfield Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund (BCRLF) to address Brownfields throughout the state including three main target areas (TAs) impacted by major flooding events & the petroleum industry downturn. The TAs noted below were chosen based on the ability to partner with a local Brownfield Program, their current communit y outreach/ input efforts, & sites slated to be ready for cleanup when the grant start s, especially those in Opportunity Zones (OZs), in environmental j ustice (EJ) communities, & affected by repeat flooding: 41
1.a.i Example: Historic Ouachita Riverfront (pop. 11,741): In Northeast Louisiana, LDEQ will partner with the City of Monroe’s Brownfield Coalition Assessment Grant to cleanup sites along the Ouachita River where it bisects the historic downtowns of Monroe (pop. 48,815) & West Monroe (pop. 13,065), including the S outhside Monroe EJ community ( 94% minority residents , 21% unemployment rate & 46% of residents in poverty ). In the early 1900s, expansion of rail, highway, & river transport systems attracted manufacturing & industrial ent erprises such as warehousing, fabrication & Tip: Include dat a references eit her natural gas. As industries moved abroad & oil prices plummeted, Brownfields became widespread. in t ext or as foot not es S huttered warehouses, dilapidated buildings, & abandoned gas stations & auto repair facilities stifled economic growth & created environmental hazards. The area’s economic plight was height ened when torrent ial rains caused the elevated Ouachita River to overbank, flooding both downtowns in 2015 & 2016. The Monroe Brownfields Coalition identified over 70 potential Brownfield sites in the Ouachita Riverfront TA resulting from the economic downturn &/ or flooding events, including former gas stations & auto-related businesses; salvage yards; manufacturing facilities; & closed dry cleaners. 42

1.b.i Example 1.b.i. Reuse S trategy & Alignment with Revitalization Plans: LDEQ in collaboration with local Brownfield grantees & Community Partners will ensure site reuse aligns with the community’s vision . Applicable community plans for priority sites include: Former Coca-Cola Bottling Company : Monroe’s DEDD Action Plan : Reuse will preserve historic buildings, maximize the use of existing infrastructure, & reinforce the community vision for an ent ertainment district to attract economic development to the downtown riverfront area. Wilson’s Corner (OZ S ite) : S hreveport Common: A Vision for an Uncommon Cult ural Dist rict (adopt ed in Shreveport’s 2030 Master Plan ); S hreveport Choice Neighborhood Plan : Reuse to attract artists & provide affordable housing; leverage public private partnerships to spur revitalization in the S hreveport Common urban cultural district. Former Ford Manufacturing Plant (OZ S ite): 2014 S t .

1.b.i Example Dearborn One, representing Dearborn County, recently completed a Regional Economic Development Action Plan (REDAP) in November 2018 and includes plans for all t hree Coalit ion cit ies along wit h the entire county. Our REDAP steering committee consists of representatives from Lawrenceburg, Aurora and Greendale (all listed in S ect ion 4.a.i. ) as well as community partners. Using best practices outlined in the EP As S mart Growth publication and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) Regional Cit ies init iat ive, the REDAP specifically addresses our priorit ized communit ies ’ goals known as the “Big 8 Economic Development Drivers” which consist of: housing, trail connectivity, downtown redevelopment, t ourism and culture, business retent ion and at traction, workforce development , t ransportation, and infrastructure. Our site reuse plans directly align with these goals. Aurora has sust ainable development in mind with the plan to increase local business opportunit ies that can provide local j obs t o our environmental j ust ice communit ies; such as expanding a long term (since 1834) local industrial company, S tedman Machine Company, to the nearby bulk terminal site. Lawrenceburg has their eye on creating equitable development such as creating a mix of housing types (Maple and Locust) along with an added grocery store t o the Locust sit e. The City of Greendale is looking to develop Greendale Commons – a multiple phased/ site gathering space t hat includes mixed use development with housing (senior and townhome), ent ertainment, retail, indoor/ outdoor spaces and sports facilit ies. This directly aligns with the REDAP downtown redevelopment , housing, tourism and culture, and business attraction priorities. Realizing the goals of these proj ects will add aesthet ic appeal, create greenspace and destinat ions for resident s and visit ors, and generate condit ions likely to encourage additional developer investment to a blighted and neglected area. The brownfield init iat ive was created to direct ly dovet ail the REDAP Big 8 Economic Development Drivers and these proj ects will likely not move forward without funding from this grant to perform Phase I/ II assessments. 73

Redevelopment of the Former Ellen’s Dry Cleaners site will create 5 acres of greenspace which will include a wheelchair-accessible playground and exercise equipment to help address the neighborhood’s high rate of obesity and diabetes. Addressing environmental issues at Wilson’s Corner will reuse a historic structure & strengthen Shreveport’s economic arts & culture impact (currently estimated at $50 million by over 30 public-private partners).
