The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has received a $300,000 brownfield grant from the EPA. A total of $1.5 million was awarded to various recipients across the Commonwealth, including Northampton County, Pittsylvania County and the City of Staunton.
DEQ’s statewide grant award will primarily focus on promoting renewable energy projects on brownfields in historically economically disadvantaged communities in the Southside Regional Planning District Commission, which consists of Brunswick, Halifax and Mecklenburg counties.
