Default Brownfields: environmental clean up and downtown redevelopme

<x-flowed>
My husband and I work In Santa Barbara, California. This is a very expensive
place to buy a home. My husband is an architect and we are interested in
building a home in a downtown area of the city that is mostly industrial.
It's zoned mixed use. Some of the lots we are interested in have been used
to store toxic materials such as batteries and the like. We would do soils
testing before committing to a project. However we have been told that
sometimes the clean up can cost as much as 50k.
Are there any grants available or low interest loans for environmental clean
up projects such as this?
Also are there any low interest loans available for redevelopment projects
in downtown or industrial areas?

We very much appreciate your time and any feedback or leads regarding this
project.

Best regards,
Linda Le Brock

Don't know about California but in Michigan we have programs that possibly could help.
