Project and will authorize the remaining $250,000 early in 2025. The Project consists of
money for hazardous waste testing, evaluating and comprehensive planning in
-and moderate-income designated neighborhoods of the East Side,
Bessemer, and West Side. Funds can be used for redevelopment or economic
planning as well as testing for contamination. The Project will also provide limited funds
for physical clean-up of El Centro Del Quinto Sol Community Center. Stantec is a
