Neal Richardson, Executive Director and Daffney Moore, Chief of Staff, accept a check on behalf of SLDC from Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator, Meg McCollister and Deputy Regional Administrator, Edward Chu.
At the St. Louis Cardinals game last night, representatives from St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) accepted a $1 million check from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In May 2022, the Biden administration — through the EPA — announced that the City of St. Louis was one of 265 communities selected to receive $1 million from the $254.5 million in Brownfields grants.
The Brownfields grants are supported by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which provides a total of $1.5 billion to advance environmental justice, spur economic revitalization and create jobs by cleaning up contaminated, polluted or hazardous brownfield properties.
$1 Million Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund to St. Louis City
SLDC was selected for a $1 million grant to be used to provide four loans and subgrants to support cleanup activities. Grant funds also will be used to market the revolving loan fund, oversee cleanup activities, and conduct community engagement activities. Activities will focus on northern neighborhoods or central commercial corridors in the city. Priority sites are old, vacant buildings that include a former cleaning and dye operation, a former glass company, and other buildings with a history of industrial use.
"St. Louis Development Corporation is excited to continue our long-standing partnership with the U.S. EPA to improve the health and well-being of our city through brownfield remediation,” said St. Louis Development Corporation Executive Director, Neal Richardson. “We have big plans for investment in historically distressed and underserved areas of the city, and this support from EPA will provide a strong foundation for the predevelopment work necessary to revitalize these communities."
SLDC’s colleagues from St. Louis County and St. Louis Community College also received funding at the June 28 check presentation event.
