The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded the Town of Summerville a $500,000 Brownfields Assessment Grant to fund revitalization efforts aimed at improving quality of life opportunities. The grant, part of the EPA's Brownfields Community-Wide Assessment program, will fund environmental assessments of properties in the Town.
With community input, Summerville will work with the EPA to identify, develop, and evaluate a list of potential brownfield sites for redevelopment into sources of job opportunities and other community resources.
The EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant program provides funding to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct cleanup planning and community involvement related activities, which help to boost local economies and create jobs.
And that's a wrap on today's Town Talk! Remember, Summerville - stay connected, stay informed, and let's keep our town thriving together. Until next time, this is Chris Makowski (cmakowski@summervillesc.gov), signing off from the heart of Summerville. Take care!
