2022 GAP FINANCING PROGRAM AVAILABLEGreetings all Brownfield Gap Financing Program Interested Parties, Thank you for your continued interest in the Brownfield Gap Financing Program. Minnesota Brownfields is pleased to be the administrator of this grant program for another year. As announced at our recent ReScape event, the next round of grant funding from Hennepin County for the BGFP that Minnesota Brownfields administers opens for applications on May 1. We look forward to receiving applications from the nonprofit organizations that you work with. You can find the updated application form on our GAP Financing page. To best ensure efficient administration of the BGFP, we have updated our policies; they can also be found on our GAP Financing page. There are specific requirements called-out in the document, and I ask that you carefully review. Be sure to share the document with others within your organization that interface with the projects’ invoicing and communications. These requirements are the result of our staff observing “disconnects” between the consultants and our staff that will be avoided by adherence to the policy document. Minnesota Brownfields appreciates our consultant partners and the clients you serve. Hennepin County’s BRGF has invested over $1.6 million in community projects in support of Affordable Housing, Commercial Redevelopment, Arts & Culture, Open Space, and more. Your attention to the above-stated administrative policies will ensure that the program is administered efficiently and into our future! Sincerely, Elizabeth M. Kluesner
