Gov. Malloy Announces $7 Million in Grants for Brownfield
Redevelopment in 12 Communities Throughout the State
State to Fund Assessment and Remediation Efforts
(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced
that the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD)
will award $7 million to 12 brownfield redevelopment and assessment projects
across the state, including $5.4 million to four remediation and redevelopment
projects and $1.5 million to eight projects for assessment and investigation.
Together, the projects will help clean up and assess a total of 462 acres of
commercial, industrial and municipal properties.
"Remediating and redeveloping these sites helps jumpstart local economies
by rehabilitating areas, putting them back into use for development, and
creating jobs for residents," Governor Malloy said. "Over the last
few years we've made historic investments in remediating contaminated
properties for redevelopment, and these additional projects further demonstrate
our commitment to our cities and towns."
