From flood-prone towns to coastal communities, Montrose empowers local leaders to reclaim neglected properties and build vibrant futures

Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. (NYSE: MEG) is on a mission to enhance environmental stewardship and support economic development by helping communities unlock federal funding for brownfields restoration and community revitalization. In 2025, Montrose assisted with over 20 EPA Grant applications totaling more than $45 million in potential awards—many for communities that didn’t even know they qualified for funding or had a compelling story to tell.

These grants are breathing new life into underutilized and environmentally challenged properties, transforming them into spaces for housing, tourism, manufacturing, and more. Montrose’s brownfields and community revitalization work spans 21 states across 9 out of 10 EPA regions, with projects ranging from flood recovery in Vermont to wildfire recovery in Hawaii.

New Projects Making an Impact:

• Westport, Washington – A transformative reuse plan is connecting the waterfront to downtown, boosting tourism and community pride. Montrose’s assessment work includes converting an old ferry site into a beach and boat launch.
• TexAmericas Center, Texas – Montrose’s first brownfields project in eastern Texas aims to repurpose a formerly used defense site into a hub for innovation, with potential for data centers and automotive manufacturing.
• Wayne County, New York – Through assessment, multipurpose and revolving loan fund grants, Montrose is helping revitalize towns like Lyons and Newark, paving the way for economic renewal.

“Montrose is proud to help communities rediscover and meet their potential,” said Chris Gdak, Practice Leader at Montrose Environmental Group. “We’re not just cleaning up properties—we’re restoring purpose to places that have been overlooked for decades. The energy and hope these projects bring to residents is deeply rewarding and impactful.”

Montrose’s approach goes beyond funding strategies and grant writing. The company fosters lasting partnerships with local governments, tribal organizations, and nonprofits to guide them through the entire revitalization journey—from identifying eligible sites to implementing community-driven reuse plans.

With a growing footprint and a commitment to underserved areas, Montrose is helping communities reclaim their future—one project at a time.
