Youngstown Getting Money to Redevelop Old Gas Stations around City - WKBN

The City of Youngstown is
receiving a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to help get rid
of abandoned gas stations around the city.

The $200,000 Brownfield Community-wide
Hazardous Substances and Petroleum Assessment Grant will clean up some of the
neighborhood eyesores. Four years ago, the Youngstown Neighborhood Development
Corporation found over 300 sites. The city hopes to address contamination and
encourage redevelopment at these sites. The money will pay for the city to have
the underground storage tanks removed and for the land to be developed. This is
the fourth time Youngstown has applied for the assistance from the EPA.
