$750,000 to Dublin for Brownfields Project
Monday, August 26, 2024 – 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.

Where is this brownfield property in Dublin and once it has been cleaned up what are the plans for repurposing it?

The same question jumped to my mind as I read the story. What an essential piece of missing information!
Furniture plant perhaps?

the article is so vague and all tax payers need to know more when it comes to so much money and land involved.. hopefully every penny of this money will go to ”whatever” this big project is and not a penny being misused.
