Cooperative Agreement 03D23124

This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $750,000, was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 66.818). The funding will support the City of Kannapolis, North Carolina in conducting eligible planning, assessment, and remediation activities for brownfield sites within the city. Specifically, the agreement will fund efforts to plan, inventory, characterize, assess, conduct cleanup planning and community involvement, and remediate two priority sites - the Pillowtex Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Wyrick Property/Villa Mobile Home Park. The funding will also support 12 Phase I and 8 Phase II environmental site assessments, the development of 3 site-specific cleanup plans and 5 overall revitalization plans, and 20 community meetings. This work aims to catalyze the revitalization of the central Kannapolis target area by addressing contaminated properties and supporting economic redevelopment.
