   Technical Assistance to Brownfields Communities Program (NJIT TAB)

Since 2008, NJIT has served as a US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provider of technical assistance to brownfields communities. The NJIT TAB Program has provided free technical assistance to hundreds of state, regional, county, tribal, and local governments and nonprofits in 21 states, two US territories, Washington DC, and 31 tribal nations. NJIT TAB’s subject matter experts provide technical assistance to communities, helping them overcome challenges posed by brownfields, and advance their properties toward redevelopment. NJIT TAB creates and conducts educational and stakeholder engagement forums (e.g., boot camps, workshops, webinars, seminars). These help foster a community’s understanding of technical, scientific, and regulatory issues, funding opportunities, economic development, and social equity issues.  NJIT TAB creates tools, resources, guidance, and strategies. These enhance community knowledge, build capacity, and empower communities.
