The park was named a winner in the Superfund National Priority List BRAC Award category.
The award highlights the significant accomplishments of federal agencies, states, tribes, local partners and developers in restoring and reusing contaminated land at federal facilities.
“Our award winners are to be commended for the creative thinking, hard work, and cooperation that went into the impressive redevelopment projects we are recognizing today,” said Barry N. Breen, acting assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Land and Emergency Management, in a statement. “Their work clearly shows that addressing contaminated properties in a way that aligns with the needs of the surrounding community leads to win-win solutions for both the environment and the economy.”
