CHATHAM, Va. â The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of its Brownfields Program announced Tuesday it has awarded $1.2 million in grants to three Virginia localities. Pittsylvania County is one of those localities, and will receive half of that money, totaling $600,000 for projects in the county and all three of its incorporated towns.
A brownfield is a property contaminated with hazardous pollutants or contaminants to the extent that expansion, redevelopment or reuse of the property is dangerous and impractical. Grants awarded provide communities across the country with the ability to transform contaminated sites into community assets that attract jobs while taking advantage of existing infrastructure, said Diana Esher, EPA Region 3 division director, at a Wednesday afternoon meeting. They bring hope to underserved communities.
