Welcome to the Regional Planning Commission's Brownfields Redevelopment
Program webpage!
The Regional Planning Commission (RPC) is the metropolitan planning organization for the New Orleans
metropolitan region, serving Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, and St. Tammany Parishes. The
RPC provides technical assistance and distributes EPA Brownfield funding to eligible Brownfield sites within
our region that are not already covered by a local Brownfields Program.
The goal of RPC's Brownfield Redevelopment Program is to assist with the assessment, cleanup and
redevelopment of Brownfield sites by providing funding, technical expertise, and guidance through the
regulatory process. Funding is restricted to non-responsible parties meeting EPA's requirements, but RPC
can provide technical assistance to anyone interested in Brownfield redevelopment in the region. Currently,
RPC's grants compliment the City of New Orleans' and Jefferson Parish's grants by focusing on St. Bernard,
Plaquemines, and St. Tammany Parishes. RPC also partners with other Brownfields grantees in the Region,
including the City of New Orleans, Jefferson Parish, the City of Gretna, City of Westwego, and the Army
Corps of Engineers, as well as neighboring South Central Planning and Development Commission and City
of Baton Rouge.
The RPC also works to ensure regional cooperation and collaboration in the redevelopment of Brownfield
sites. In 1999, the RPC created the Southeast Louisiana Regional Brownfield Consortium to assist the RPC's
five member Parishes, along with the adjacent parishes of St. Charles, St. John, St. James and Tangipahoa,
in redeveloping their Brownfield sites. The Consortium formulates regional strategies, acts as a regional
Brownfield resource, and works to facilitate collaboration between the Parishes. Members include
representatives of all parties with an interest in brownfields redevelopment, such as community members,
developers, consultants, government entities, local non-profit groups, and other Brownfield stakeholders.
Consortium meetings are open to the public.
Please explore our website to find information on applying for funding, eligibility criteria, and resources for
redevelopment, along with other useful Brownfields-related information. If you have any questions or would
like to discuss a specific project, please contact Rebecca Otte, our Brownfield Program Coordinator at:
(504) 568-6622 or rotte@norpc.org, or by using the Contact Us page. For more information about the RPC
