Transform Barstow – Be Part of the Change

Join Barstow's Revitalization Effort Today!

​The City of Barstow received Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) Program funds for Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for brownfield sites in Barstow.

​

The City has hired a professional environnemental firm to conduct Phase I ESAs and is inviting business and property owners to be a part of this exciting opportunity to reshape our community. This effort will enhance the quality of life for our residents, create meaningful job opportunities, and foster economic growth in key areas. 

​

Your property has the potential to play a key role in this transformation. Together, we can revitalize underutilized spaces, address environmental concerns, and unlock new opportunities for business growth and development. Whether you’re a local entrepreneur or an absentee property owner, the time to act is now.

 

Who is eligible to participate?​

​

A brownfield is a property with potential contamination that complicates its reuse. This grant allows for the assessment and potential examination of such contamination. The grant targets soil contamination, groundwater pollution, and other hazards that may hinder safe property use. However, this grant cannot be used for testing for other hazards such as building materials (lead, asbestos, etc.) 

​

Examples of potential sites include but are not limited to previous uses as gas stations, dry cleaners, underground tanks, printing businesses, etc. which MAY have resulted in chemicals in the ground. 

​

Why Participate?

​

  • Redevelop Your Property: Unlock the value of your property through funding and resources to address environmental issues and prepare it for future business uses.

  • No Cost to Participate: Environmental reports are costly- why not enjoy this free offering?
