Great American's Environmental Division Named as a Selected Insurance Carrier for the Massachusetts BRAC Program

The BRAC Program promotes access to private sources of loan and investment capital for the cleanup and development of Brownfields. To help facilitate such development, the program works with selected insurance carriers to provide environmental liability coverage for investors and lenders considering Brownfield projects.

Great American's environmental insurance policies have been thoroughly reviewed and approved for use by the BRAC Program's administrators. In addition, Great American has developed a unique endorsement for use with the program which provides additional state-specific benefits to entities developing Brownfield sites in Massachusetts.
