Municipal Support Letter
The Capitol Region Council of Governments, in partnership with the MetroHartford Alliance, have been awarded two grants totaling $400,000 to inventory and assess properties contaminated by petroleum products and/or hazardous substances. These grants will benefit the 34 communities in the combined CRCOG/MetroHartford Alliance region.
CRCOG and the MetroHartford Alliance believe that one of the greatest economic challenges facing the greater Hartford region is finding available sites for new and expanding industry. Cleaning up contaminated sites allows them to be recycled into new economic opportunities for companies expanding or relocating into the area. The increased value of these properties will bring additional revenue to our municipalities, help revitalize communities, and provide alternatives to greenfield development.
Communities wishing to access funds available through the MetroHartford Brownfields Assessment Program should contact Mary Ellen Kowalewski at 860-522-2217 ext. 22 or mkowalewski@crcog.org.
CRCOG held an informational meeting to describe work for the upcoming phase of the program on August 20, 2007. See below for details:
