SitemapThe city will receive a
$200,000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grant to redevelop vacant
properties.
This marks the fourth time the city has applied for the Brownfields
Assessment Grant. The funds will allow the city “to collaborate with community
partners to inventory, prioritize, assess and plan for the development of
former gas stations on major streets,” according to an EPA news release
announcing that 172 communities and organizations had been selected to receive
funding to redevelop vacant and unused properties. The city will use its
funding to clean up and redevelop “small petroleum sites scattered throughout
the city’s neighborhoods,” Mayor John A. McNally’s office said.
