The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the Town of Dublin a $750,000 grant for brownfield site development. The development of these properties may be complicated by the presence of a hazardous material or substance. U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement:

“Brownfields are areas in our communities in disuse and/or disrepair due to harmful waste or pollutants.

“This grant for $750,000 affords Dublin the opportunity to restore and repurpose such land by conducting and developing cleanup planning.”

BACKGROUND

This grant is a part of a broader campaign to put previously contaminated properties back into productive use.

The Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, and Cleanup Grant program administers the related funds.

An additional $250,000 may be available, contingent upon availability.
