Mayor Cory A. Booker, Newark Municipal Council Members, EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck, Deputy Mayor of Economic and Housing Development Stefan Pryor, Sustainability Officer Chelsea Albucher and other dignitaries marked the one-year anniversary of President Obama’s signing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and highlighted the use of federal stimulus funds to remediate three brownfield sites, during a press conference in the City Hall Rotunda, today.

EPA brownfields grants address properties at which expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. In 2009, Newark received $600,000 in ARRA funds to conduct cleanups at three sites: a former gas station on Bergen Street in the South Ward; the NSC Plating and Polishing Company on South 12th Street in the West Ward; and the International Metallurgical Services site on Blanchard Street in the East Ward. The stimulus-funded cleanup activities will help reclaim these three sites for productive uses. The South Ward site is slated for retail use, the West Ward site for housing, and the East Ward site for light industrial purposes. Each development is part of a broader neighborhood development strategy that benefits the City and its residents at large.Read Full Article
