About Our Program
The Orange County Brownfields Program is a partnership between OCIDA, the County, local municipalities, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to identify, assess, and redevelop brownfield sites throughout the county.
Our program aims to transform underutilized properties affected by contamination into productive community assets that support economic growth and improve environmental health.
