Required next actionRound 24AO is closed. Do not submit a Round 24 application. Preserve site, assessment, redevelopment and eligibility materials and monitor Connecticut DECD's tentative Round 25 notice window in January/February 2027. Re-verify funding limits, eligible activities, submission method and all successor-round requirements when DECD publishes a new NOFA.
Broad Eligibility
Direct applicants include Connecticut municipalities, Councils of Governments, qualifying economic development agencies and Connecticut Brownfield Land Banks. Funding supports assessment of abandoned or underutilized sites where the presence or potential presence of pollution prevents redevelopment, reuse or expansion. Round 24 applications must be submitted through DECD's Euna portal.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 82/100. Useful upstream redevelopment funding for Connecticut communities that need environmental assessment before a contaminated or potentially contaminated site can be reused. Healthcare relevance is indirect but defensible where an eligible public applicant is preparing a site for future hospital, clinic, laboratory, bioscience, school-linked health or other community-serving development. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 0/100 because this assessment-only round does not fund clinical devices, telehealth or care-delivery technology.
Archived Round 24
Round 24AO 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 24AO offered $100,000 to $200,000 per project, and DECD stated that up to $25 million was available across the simultaneous Round 24 brownfield notices.
Who Was Eligible
Direct applicants included Connecticut municipalities, Councils of Governments, qualifying economic development agencies and Connecticut Brownfield Land Banks. The program supported investigation and assessment of abandoned or underutilized sites where suspected or known pollution prevented redevelopment or reuse.
Healthcare Relevance
Healthcare and bioscience organizations were generally not direct applicants, but assessment funding could unlock later redevelopment of contaminated or underused sites into healthcare, school-linked, laboratory, bioscience or other community-serving facilities when an eligible public lead was in place. Atlas treats this as an upstream infrastructure pathway rather than a clinical-technology grant.
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 assessment and redevelopment planning materials and re-verify all successor-round terms once DECD issues a new notice.
