Will County Brownfields Grant Community Outreach Meeting - Joliet

The Will County Center for Economic Development was awarded a USEPA Assessment Grant in the amount of $400,000 to complete site assessments in three targeted areas and others that will be identified during community outreach activities such as today's meeting.

The mission of the Will County CED Brownfields Redevelopment Program is to minimize exposure to contamination to sensitive populations in the Target Areas and elsewhere in Will County; increase productive site reuse of the historical industrial/commercial properties; and facilitate growth and quality of life improvement of the Target Areas and elsewhere in Will County by addressing environmental and human health factors.

Through this project, the CED intends to bring citizens, environmental regulatory agencies, and consultants together around a common goal of redevelopment.  

Come out and learn more about initial sites identified in the grant proposal, how new sites can be evaluated and the process going forward.  

REGISTRATION IS ENCOURAGED, BUT NOT REQUIRED - THANK YOU.
