Jan 15, 2026 Redevelopment Authority adopts USEPA brownfield grant application for 201 W. Oklahoma Ave (Resolution No. 10061)
Meeting called to order at 1:30 PM with seven members present. December 18, 2025 minutes were adopted by consensus. The Authority adopted Resolution No. 10061 (7–0) to apply for two USEPA Brownfield grants — a $500,000 assessment grant and a $4,000,000 cleanup grant — for a foreclosed 3‑acre site at 201 W. Oklahoma Avenue. The site contains a 61,000 sq. ft. building and soils contaminated with heavy metals, chlorinated volatile organic compounds, and PCBs; the proposed remedial strategy is demolition, excavation, in situ treatment, and capping. The City foreclosed on the property in Fall 2025; holding costs were reported as very limited and a fenced gate was installed for $2,000. The meeting adjourned at 1:43 PM.
