Impact7G personnel have been intimately involved with Perry’s brownfield redevelopment initiative since 2011. This includes assisting with fund procurement for an EPA Cleanup Grant, an Iowa Brownfield Redevelopment Program Grant through the Department of Economic Development, and a cleanup grant through the IDNR Brownfield Redevelopment Program. In 2011, Impact7G assisted the City of Perry with applying for additional funds through the EPA Brownfields Program.

In 2012, the City was awarded a $400,000 Multi-Purpose Assessment and Cleanup Brownfields Grant for a former 101-acre railroad site. Perry was one of nine communities to receive this funding within the United States. Impact7G staff have been instrumental in developing innovative approaches for the investigation and cleanup of lead, arsenic, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminated soils.

In addition, Impact7G worked with the City of Perry on additional environmental projects including an Army Corps of Engineers Bank Stabilization Project and an Environmental Stewardship Plan with the Police Department for a firing range, which contained elevated soil lead levels.
