The grant will support the tribe's efforts to conduct site surveys and inventories, carry out community outreach, update program ordinances, and oversee the assessment and cleanup of up to 2 brownfield sites within the Isabella Reservation, including the former Mount Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School. The objective is to remediate and facilitate the reuse of these contaminated properties to benefit the tribal community.
