EPA's Office of Community Revitalization (OCR) empowers communities to develop and implement strategies that revitalize local economies and improve environmental and public health outcomes. We partner with other EPA programs and federal agencies to help achieve locally led, community-driven approaches to protecting air, land, and water, while supporting equitable economic revitalization.
