The state of Ohio awarded $192 million in Brownfield Remediation Grant money, 25% of that goes to organizations in Cuyahoga County.
CUYAHOGA COUNTY, Ohio — The state of Ohio is handing out $192 million as a part of the Ohio Brownfield Remediation Program. The goal of it is to clean and green contaminated land parcels, old warehouses and vacant hazardous properties in Northeast Ohio.
“We were manufacturing back in the Rockefeller days, standard oil. Some of the property that is going to be remediated dates back to standard oil day,” said Tom Patton, Ohio’s District 7 Representative.“I don’t think any of us feel comfortable with the idea that there are parcels and properties that are filled with chemicals and carcinogens and other things that are just not good,” Patton said.
“These lands have had to stay empty because of the cost of remediation for a private industry to come in,” he said he is hopeful the grant can attract new business to the county.
