Communities throughout the Mountain State trying to eradicate abandoned, vacant and dilapidated buildings may apply for technical assistance awards through the Northern West Virginia Brownfields Assistance Center at West Virginia University.
The grants, worth $10,000 each, help communities dealing with the challenges caused by abandoned and deteriorated structures.
