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. The Small Business Liability Relief and
Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2002, as amended by the
Brownfields Utilization, Investment and Local Development
Act of 2018, was passed to help states and communities around
the country clean up and revitalize brownfield sites. Under this
law, EPA provides financial assistance to eligible applicants
through five competitive grant programs: Multipurpose Grants,
Assessment Grants, Revolving Loan Fund Grants, Cleanup
Grants, and Environmental Workforce Development and Job
Training Grants. Additionally, funding support is provided to
state and tribal response programs through a separate
mechanism.

Cleanup Grant

$462,590

EPA has selected Cornerstone Community Development Corporation for
a Brownfields Cleanup Grant. Grant funds will be used to clean up the
Prichard Building located at 6th Avenue and 9th Street in the City of
Huntington. The 13-story building was constructed in 1926 and operated
as a hotel until the 1970s. Later uses include office space, storefronts,
and apartments, but it currently is vacant. It is contaminated with
inorganic contaminants and metals. Grant funds also will be used to
support community involvement activities.
