§ 43-1418 Eligibility.
RCNY § 43-1418
a. General.
1.Grants are awarded within each fiscal year to grantees. Awards shall be made until brownfield incentive grant funds for a fiscal year are exhausted.
2.Decisions on eligibility for all grants are made by the office and are final. b. Property eligibility.
3.A property admitted to the brownfield cleanup program administered by the New York state department of environmental conservation is ineligible for a grant except for a City pre-enrollment grant as defined in 43 RCNY § 43-1417(b)(3), a City enrollment grant as defined in 43 RCNY § 43-1417(b)(7), a brownfield green job training grant as defined in 43 RCNY § 43-1417(b)(5), and a green property certification grant, as defined in 43 RCNY § 43-1417(b)(6). c. Applicant eligibility.
4.A grantee may receive grants for a maximum of three qualifying brownfield properties for any given City fiscal year. However, contiguous properties remediated by the same developer may not receive more than one grant. For the purpose of this subdivision, all grants issued for a single property are considered one grant that is received in the year of the initial award payment. For example, a grantee that receives the first payment on an invoice submitted for a pre-development grant award for a property in one fiscal year and an environmental investigation grant for the same property the next fiscal year is considered to have received only one grant issued in the first fiscal year.
5.A grantee may not receive a pre-enrollment grant for more than one qualifying brownfield property each fiscal year. However, if a qualifying brownfield property for which a pre-enrollment grant was obtained is subsequently enrolled by the grantee into a New York city or New York state brownfield cleanup program in the same fiscal year, the grantee may receive an additional pre-enrollment grant for a second qualifying brownfield property in the same fiscal year. If a grantee enrolls a second qualifying brownfield property (for which a pre-enrollment grant was obtained) in a New York city or New York state brownfield cleanup program in the same fiscal year, the grantee may receive an additional pre-enrollment grant for a third qualifying property. Pursuant to paragraph 4 of this subdivision, the grantee shall not receive a pre-enrollment grant for more than the three qualifying brownfield properties in such fiscal year. d. Eligibility requirements for specific grants.
