EPA identifies site potential and provides resources for communities, developers, and local governments. What you can do - Map brownfields or closed landfills in your county and propose community solar feasibility studies - Bring neighbours into planning so reuse projects reflect local priorities - Partner with municipalities to screen sites using EPA RE-Powering tools How to participate - Start with RE-Powering America's Land - Engage your local brownfield coordinator or environmental justice group Why it matters Repurposing degraded land for clean energy avoids greenfield sprawl and can fund remediation while lowering bills for nearby residents.
