The Business Development Corporation of the Northern Panhandle has been awarded three brownfield site specific hazardous cleanup grants totaling $600,000.
BDC Executive Director Pat Ford said the funds were awarded through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Brownfield grant program for the former Wheeling Corrugating plant in Beech Bottom, the former Brooke Glass factory in Wellsburg, and the Chester Riverfront Revitalization project in Chester.
“Brownfield sites are a major obstacle in redeveloping former industrial properties,” said Bill D’Alesio, chairman of the BDC. “This federal funding will greatly assist us in our efforts to repurpose industrial and commercial sites in the northern panhandle.”
The grant money will be focused on the removal of hazardous materials and petroleum products from defined brownfield areas at each of the three sites.
