County Brownfield Agency Gets Revolving Loan Fund

DETROIT-Michigan is on the receiving end of about $4.5 million worth of federal brownfield funding, including $1 million for the Wayne County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority to support cleanup activities.

DETROIT-Several brownfield reclamation projects around the state will get a boost from federal funding announced by US Senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow, both Michigan Democrats. The Environmental Protection Agency has awarded $4.45 million to the various projects, highlighted by $1.4 million for Detroit or Wayne County projects.

“These grants are so important for both environmental and economic reasons,” says Levin, co-chair of the Senate Smart Growth Task Force. “The cleanup and development of brownfield sites revitalize our towns and cities by providing the opportunity to create jobs, build housing and provide recreational space.”

The Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority is to receive $400,000 to conduct site inventory, perform Phase I and II and baseline environmental assessments, prepare redevelopment plans, and conduct outreach in southwest Detroit and the West Detroit Riverfront. A “Phase I” is where historical occurrence of contamination is evaluated and a “Phase II” is where the extent of contamination is determined.
