Strategies, a multitude of business-oriented services, one of which is our very successful Brownfields Assessment program.\u00a0 NSIDC is the largest recipient agency of the EPA Region III Brownfield

style=\"white-space-collapse: preserve;\">One of the most successful Innovative Strategies programs is the Rivers Towns Coalition program that works with property owners and community leaders to gain access to Brownfields hazardous and petroleum sites.\u00a0 RCI works closely with owners and potential developers to perform assessments so the sites can be redeveloped into valuable, usable land.\u00a0 Several of the River Towns Coalition communities include the following municipalities:\u00a0 Etna, Shaler, Sharpsburg, Millvale, McKees Rocks, Neville Island, Stowe Township, City of Pittsburgh, City of McKeesport, City of Clairton, City of Duquesne, East Pittsburgh along with many other LMI communities.\u00a0 Many of these communities have benefited from development projects that are now transforming blighted neighborhoods into communities of choice resulting in a reduction in poverty with family sustainable jobs and better quality of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span
