What's Happening?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has provided a $600,000 grant to assess potentially contaminated properties, known as Brownfields, that are planned for reuse or redevelopment.

Grant dollars can be used for phase 1 and 2 environmental assessment for public or private properties that are vacant or underutilized and may be impacted by contamination.

Goals

  • Remove blight and contamination
  • Create healthier places to live, work and play
  • Create jobs and new economic opportunities
