City to Receive Grant From the EPA
The city of Ventura is slated to receive a $200,000 award from the Environmental Protection Agency next week.
The Brownfield Demonstration Pilot grant will pay for an environmental assessment of the west side. Under the pilot program, community groups and developers will discuss environmental safety and cleaning up contaminated areas.
The grant is part of an $11-million effort to clean up and redevelop distressed areas nationwide.
EPA Regional Administrator Felicia Marcus will present the award to Mayor Jim Friedman at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Ventura Avenue Green Plaza, 550 N. Ventura Ave.
