Property Redevelopment and Revitalization Program
In 2023, SEAGO was awarded a $500,000 Brownfield Assessment grant from EPA for projects in Graham, Greenlee, and Santa Cruz counties. The goal is to transform underutilized, vacant, abandoned properties and those that may have environmental impacts or regulated building materials from liabilities into community assets.
