Steve Stanley is disappointed the city’s application for a
brownfields grant was not approved, but he and others associated with
the grant bid will try again. The Environmental Protection Agency’s brownfield grant program
provides money to identify, assess, and in some cases, clean up old
industrial sites so they can once again be productive. A task force
identified numerous locations in the city and included them in the grant
application. “We thought we had a pretty strong application,” said Stanley, a member of the Sheffield City Council. He said the city has requested the EPA send the documentation they
use to “grade” the application, which will identify the shortfalls. That information can be used to beef up this year’s application, Stanley said.
