Redevelopment Authority Of The City Of Milwaukee

The Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee (RACM) is a local government entity registered in SAM.gov, functioning as a municipal organization focused on urban redevelopment and environmental remediation initiatives. Located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the organization specializes in brownfield assessment, cleanup, and redevelopment projects that aim to transform underutilized industrial properties into economically viable sites. As a U.S. local government entity, RACM works to benefit residents, business owners, and stakeholders by strategically addressing environmental challenges and supporting economic development in the Milwaukee metropolitan area.

RACM has been the recipient of multiple federal grants, predominantly from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Economic Development Administration (EDA), focusing on brownfields remediation and infrastructure development. The organization has received several $500,000 Cooperative Agreements under the EPA's Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements program, targeting properties within the 30th Street Industrial Corridor. These grants have enabled RACM to conduct extensive environmental site assessments, including 20 Phase I and 10 Phase II environmental assessments, special inspection warrants, and community engagement activities. Additionally, RACM was awarded a $3,992,700 Project Grant from the EDA to support infrastructure development and site redevelopment at the Kneeland Properties, with the goal of diversifying the local economy, attracting private investment, and creating jobs in an area impacted by declining coal use. The organization's work consistently demonstrates a commitment to environmental remediation, economic revitalization, and community development.
