We wanted to know more about the grant and what it could mean for the town so we went right to the top. Brookfield First Selectman Tara Carr joined us on the I-95 Morning Show Tuesday (1/17/23) and we asked her about the grant and bit more about how this process works, this is what Carr had to say:
The state will release nearly $25 million in funds to investigate and clean up 41 parcels of land in 16 towns with the goal of returning them to productive use.
Two Fairfield County properties are among the 41 parcels in 16 localities that are receiving a total of $24.6 million in funding from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development’s (DECD) Brownfield Remediation and Development Program.
