Why is the EPA in the Grocery Market business?

Today in the MJS there was an article about how Milwaukee is getting an outdoor food market. One line caught my eye and I was hoping someone could explain to me why The Environmental Protection Agency is in the Outdoor Food Market business?

The Article states:
An EPA grant of $2.5 million in 2004 catapulted the project forward.

Why is the EPA using Tax dollars to support projects like this? Is every superfund site in America cleaned up. I fail to see how building outdoor food markets falls under the umbrella of the EPA.

We wonder why are taxes are so high and where the money goes then you see something like this and think there had to be more important things the EPA could have spent that money on.

So if someone has an idea why the EPA is in the Food Market business please enlighten old GB.
