Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Reuse of Brownfields and other Derelict Sites" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS WASO P12AC31640) was issued by the National Park Service as a continuation grant focused on community development in the Elizabeth, New Jersey area. The central aim of the award is to support local efforts to address brownfields and other underused or derelict properties by helping the community organize and move redevelopment concepts toward implementation. In practical terms, the project is intended to strengthen local capacity to identify problem sites, coordinate stakeholders, and develop actionable plans for reuse that can contribute to neighborhood improvement and broader revitalization.
The specific work described for this award includes establishing a brownfield task force and supporting project development activities. A task force in this context generally means convening local partners such as community organizations, residents, municipal representatives, and other stakeholders to create a coordinated approach to brownfield challenges. Project development typically involves early-stage planning work such as prioritizing sites, outlining potential reuse scenarios, aligning community goals, mapping out partnerships, and setting the groundwork for future cleanup, investment, and redevelopment efforts.
This opportunity was posted on June 11, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 15, 2012, and it was archived on July 15, 2012. The estimated total funding for the award is $25,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $25,000, indicating a single fixed-size award rather than a competitive range. Only one award was expected.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the announcement explicitly states that it was not a notice inviting applications. Instead, it served as a notice of intent to award the grant to a specific organization: Groundwork Elizabeth. That means the agency had already selected the recipient and was publishing the notice as part of its administrative and transparency requirements, rather than running an open competition.
The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is community development. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed agency contact was Jaime Mijares, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2755 or by email at jaimemijares@nps.gov.
