Havelock seeks additional grant for Phoenix cleanup


Havelock commissioners and staff are continuing to move forward with efforts to clean up the old Phoenix Recycling site near Tucker Creek. Commissioners voted to apply for a Brownfield Agreement from the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources.  If accepted, the agreement would work in collaboration with a $400,000 federal Environmental Protection Agency Brownfield Community Assessment Grant the city received notice of in May.  The assessment grant covers all of the potential hazardous sites in and around Havelock, but chief among them is the Phoenix site, located behind the West End Fire Station and just outside the city limits.
