The Providence Department of Planning and Development is in the process of applying for Brownfield remediation Grant funds through the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the city announced on Friday. The grants would assist the City’s ongoing effort to revitalize neighborhoods by transforming blighted property into economically viable development.
As a part the grant process, the Department of Planning and Development is seeking input from the public on two applications to fund Brownfields assessment and clean-up in seven neighborhoods of the city:
- Identification and assessment of sites contaminated with hazardous materials in Lower South Providence, Olneyville, Upper South Providence, Valley, and the West End. (Grant request $200,000)
- Cleanup of the former Lincoln Lace and Braid site located northwest of the intersection of Ponagansett and Barbara Streets in the Hartford neighborhood. (Grant request: $200,000)
Copies of the applications are available for review at the following locations:
