Oshkosh receives brownfield money from state
MADISON - Governor Jim Doyle announced $1.7 million in grants to assess contamination at abandoned or underused properties in 30 communities across the state. The grants will fund 47 projects that help redevelop brownfields, which are abandoned, idle, or underused industrial or commercial properties where redevelopment is hindered by contamination.
"Cleaning up brownfields is about more than just renewing damaged or vacant land - it is about renewing the pride of a community, and restoring jobs and productivity," Governor Doyle said. "The cleanup and safe reuse of brownfield properties not only helps redevelop these properties, it also helps spur additional reinvestment in these communities over the long haul."
The DNR Brownfields Site Assessment Grants (SAG) provide seed money to local governments for demolition, environmental assessments and removal of abandoned tanks and containers. To receive funding, local governments must provide a 20 percent match.
More than half the grants - 26 total - were awarded to rural communities or counties looking to spur economic growth in less populated areas. Small grants (up to $30,000) make up 38 of the awards, while nine are large grants (between $30,000 and $100,000). The grants will provide funds for environmental activities on 195 acres of land. Activities include 78 site assessments and investigations, the demolition of 79 buildings or structures and the removal of more than 230 tanks, drums and other abandoned containers.
Since this grant program began in 1999, the DNR has awarded approximately $11 million to 180 communities to begin investigation and cleanup on more than 1,100 acres. These activities included more than 600 site assessments and investigations, the removal of more than 440 storage tanks and containers, and the demolition of more than 450 structures and buildings.
