What is the Equitable Community Revitalization Grant?
Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) is more than just an environmental assessment, investigation and cleanup grant; it is a promise to advance environmental future for communities across California.
Administered by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Office of Brownfields, ECRG ensures that land is safe for new development, directly aligning with the Office of Brownfields’ mission.
​
This project is funded by the Equitable Community Revitalization Grant, supported by California Climate Investments—a statewide initiative that uses Cap-and-Trade dollars to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen the economy, and improve public health and the environment.
How will this help the City of Bell’s communities?
Approximately 35,731 people live within the City’s 2.5 square-mile land area. Future clean-up and revitalization efforts will aim to encourage affordable housing commercial development, job training, greenspace, and climate resilience. These identified objectives within the City’s General Plan will help stabilize Bell’s residential neighborhoods, alleviate overcrowding, address substandard housing, build more affordable housing to reduce rent burden on households and utilize residential & mixed-use development to create more vibrant areas.
ECRG revitalization efforts will analyze the sites for any environmentally hazardous materials and will provide the proper mitigation efforts, if necessary. With the award of the DRSC/ECRG grant, the path towards a more prosperous future for all can now begin!​
The City of Bell, DTSC, Los Angeles Water Board, and Project Management Consultant Tierra West Advisors want to keep the public updated on this important project. Please use this website to find information about upcoming informational meetings and other public events.
