The 30,000 square-foot administration building was constructed in 1989 and was recently abandoned because of repeated flooding. The building is contaminated with mold, unknown chemicals and electronic waste products. EPA’s grant will facilitate the cleanup and renovation of the building to provide the tribe with usable office space.
The 245 grantees include tribes and communities in 39 states across the country, funded by EPA’s Brownfields Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup (ARC) grants, and Revolving Loan Fund Supplemental grants. The grants awarded will assess and clean up abandoned industrial and commercial properties. According to EPA, nearly half of the grantees this year are new awardees who demonstrate a high level of commitment for undertaking specific projects and leveraging the funding to move those projects forward.
Approximately 29 % of the grants are being awarded to non-urban areas with populations of 100,000 or less, 16 % are being awarded to “micro” communities with populations of 10,000 or less, and the remaining grants are being awarded to urban areas with populations exceeding 100,000.
