Required next actionRound 24RG is closed. Do not submit a Round 24 application. Preserve project, site-control, remediation, partnership and budget materials and monitor Connecticut DECD's tentative Round 25 notice window in January/February 2027. Re-verify eligibility, funding limits, submission method and all successor-round requirements when DECD publishes a new NOFA.
Broad Eligibility
Direct applicants are Connecticut municipalities, qualifying economic development agencies and Connecticut Brownfield Land Banks. Entities responsible for contamination are ineligible. Applicants must document site access/control or a path to site control and non-liability for contamination. DECD encourages public-private redevelopment partnerships and may allow pass-through of grant funds from an eligible public applicant to a private development partner subject to state contractual, collateral and use-restriction requirements.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 89/100. High-value Connecticut redevelopment opportunity with requests up to $6 million and explicit scoring relevance for Bioscience & Healthcare projects. Best healthcare use case: remediation or redevelopment of a brownfield site for a hospital, clinic, health-system, bioscience or other healthcare facility through an eligible municipal/economic-development lead and defensible public-private partnership. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 0/100 because eligible costs are site investigation, remediation, abatement, environmental/building remedial work and related redevelopment preparation rather than clinical technology procurement.
Archived Round 24
Round 24RG closed September 9, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET. Connecticut DECD required the complete application package to be submitted through the Euna electronic portal by noon. Atlas is preserving this record for historical and planning reference; it is no longer actionable as an open application.
Round 24 Funding
Round 24RG offered requests from $200,000 to $6,000,000 per project, while DECD stated that up to $25 million was available across the simultaneous Round 24 brownfield notices.
Who Was Eligible
Direct applicants included Connecticut municipalities, qualifying economic development agencies and Connecticut Brownfield Land Banks. Applicants had to document that the site was a brownfield, establish access/site control or a path to site control, and show that the applicant and development partners were not responsible for the contamination. DECD encouraged public-private partnerships and could structure an award so an eligible public applicant passed funds through to a private development partner subject to state collateral and use restrictions.
Healthcare Relevance
DECD’s Round 24 scoring criteria expressly identified Bioscience & Healthcare as a targeted economic-development sector. Eligible uses included investigation, assessment, remediation, abatement, hazardous-material disposal, planning, engineering, environmental consulting and building or structural remedial work. Healthcare organizations were generally not direct applicants, so hospital, clinic, health-system or bioscience redevelopment projects required an eligible municipal or economic-development lead.
Next-Round Watch
DECD’s current tentative schedule identifies January/February 2027 for a Round 25 notice across multiple brownfield programs, subject to change and funding availability. Organizations should preserve Round 24 planning materials, monitor the official DECD brownfields pages, and re-verify all terms when a successor notice is actually released rather than assuming Round 24 rules will carry forward.
