EPA Brownfields Program
EPA's Brownfields Program empowers states.
communities, and other stakeholders to work together to
prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse
brownfields. A brownfield site is real property, the
expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be
complicated by the presence or potential presence of a
hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. In 2002,
the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields
Revitalization Act was passed to help states and
communities around the country cleanup and revitalize
brownfields sites. Under this law, EPA provides financial
assistance to eligible applicants through four competitive
grant programs: assessment grants, revolving loan fund
grants, cleanup grants, and job training grants.
Additionally, funding support is provided to state and
tribal response programs through a separate mechanism.
Cleanup Grant
$200,000 for hazardous substances
EPA has selected the Stark County Park District
for a brownfields cleanup grant. Hazardous
substances grant funds will be used to clean up
Molly Stark Park at 7900 Columbus Road in
Louisville. From 1929 to 1970, the 38.5-acre site
operated as a hospital for tuberculosis patients.
From 1970-1995, the site served a variety of
purposes, including adult day care. The property
was used as storage for county records until it was
sold in 2009 to transition into a public park.
Environmental concerns at the site include
inorganic contaminants. Grant funds also will be
used to conduct community outreach activities.
