The City and Borough of Juneau is in the process of applying for a federal grant through the Environmental Protection Agency that will be used to assess – and potentially redevelop – select underutilized properties in the community.

CBJ’s Community Development Department (CDD) is working with Stantec Consulting Services –  a multidisciplinary team of engineers, geologists, scientists, planners, and funding specialists – to apply for a $500,000 grant through EPA’s Brownfields Program. CDD has identified three areas of Juneau to focus on for the grant application – an area in Downtown Juneau, an area in Lemon Creek, and an area near the airport.

Discussion topics include:

• Efforts to obtain the grant from the EPA
• Impact of identified sites on the livelihood, health and safety of the community
• Plans to assess underutilized areas
• Redevelopment strategy and desired project outcomes
