WASHINGTON, D.C. – On June 1, 2023, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded a Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup (MARC) grant totaling $500,000 to the City of Lima to conduct 18 environmental site assessments, inventory brownfield sites, support community outreach activities and develop four cleanup plans, two reuse assessments, and one brownfields revitalization plan.
“By investing in and redeveloping these brownfield sites, we create new opportunities for growth for communities across Ohio,” said Brown. “This investment will support revitalization efforts critical to the safety and economic success of these communities.”
The MARC grant program helps communities begin to address the economic, social, and environmental challenges caused by brownfields by stimulating economic opportunity and environmental revitalization in historically overburdened communities.
