Two New Hampshire towns will get federal grants to clean up contaminated sites seen as obstacles to economic revitalization.
Boscawen and Jaffrey are among about 150 towns nationwide to receive the brownfield funding from the Environmental Protection Agency this year.
Boscawen will use half a million dollars to clean up a former mill and leather tannery on its riverfront. The contaminated Allied Leather site has sat abandoned since 1987.
In recent years, the city of Concord used an EPA loan to turn another former Allied site in Penacook into housing and offices.
At a press conference this week, Boscawen select board chair Lorrie Carey said residents voted twice at town meeting to help pay for their own mill cleanup.
