Environmental Justice

RACER Trust is committed to environmental and social justice

A number of RACER Trust properties are located in areas of communities historically underserved or poor and with disparate environmental and/or social impacts resulting from historic contamination, blight, and a lack of employment opportunities.

In addition to its public outreach activities, RACER Trust has acted as an advocate for our communities, identifying and sharing grant opportunities, connecting local leaders with state and national resources, hiring local contractors to perform cleanup activities and incorporating local infrastructure needs with site remediation and redevelopment plans. By addressing abandoned, blighted and contaminated properties with transparency, outreach and communication; mitigating public health risks via safe and protective cleanups; site and infrastructure improvements; selection of buyers and development plans which satisfy the criteria for sales in the Settlement Agreement and that comply with local, state and Federal laws; creating jobs and restoring tax revenues locally; and supporting local efforts for community revitalization, RACER Trust has contributed to fixing the root causes of these injustices in our communities and will continue to do so.

EJScreen Community Reports

RACER Trust evaluated each of its former GM properties using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s EJScreen, which is based on environmental and socioeconomic information for user-defined areas. For purposes of this exercise, RACER selected a one-mile radius around its properties to conduct its evaluation.
