Town Council approves request for EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant, adopts resolution for Lewis Gale Hospital

Town of Pulaski
“Tuesday night’s Pulaski Town Council meeting started off with a request from John White on behalf of the Economic Development Board to endorse the submission of a Brownfield Assessment Grant for 2014. This is the board’s second attempt at requesting permission for the grant, after their initial request was turned down last year. The council moved to endorse this year’s request following White’s presentation.

White pointed out two particular aspects that the grant emphasizes – one being the revitalization of downtown areas, the other being an expressed concern for people with chronic illnesses. The $200,000 grant would allow for environmental assessments throughout Pulaski, and would also fund cleanup and community involvement activities.

White also mentioned that the board would like to reach out to more public and private entities throughout Pulaski to support the proposal.”
