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

EPA has selected the Wayne County Economic Development Authority
Inc. for a brownfields cleanup grant. Hazardous substances grant funds
will be used to clean up the former Kenova Grade School site at 1400
Poplar Street in Kenova. The one-acre property was used as a school
from 1910 to 2012, and has been closed since then. It is contaminated
with inorganic contaminants and lighting ballasts. Grant funds also will
be used to support community involvement activities, and conduct
redevelopment planning.
