The questionnaire is intended to be released to program participants in the Brownfields Revitalization Anti-Displacement Strategies Program (BRADS) after receiving technical assistance.

The EPA’s Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization is providing technical assistance to brownfield communities to minimize displacement through the Brownfields Revitalization Anti-Displacement Strategies Program (BRADS). The goal of this survey is to 1) capture how technical assistance recipient communities are using the strategies and resources provided during the technical assistance and 2) identify how the BRADS Program can be improved. Your feedback on EPA’s technical assistance is invaluable, and so we want to hear how the provided technical assistance has impacted your work. Participation is open to all BRADS Program participants.

Please select or write your responses to the following questions. You can provide additional information in the comment boxes.
