MPCA to invest $2 million for cleanup and redevelopment of contaminated sites in Cass Lake, Minneapolis and St. Paul

Today, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) announced it will invest a $2 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to restore and revitalize brownfield locations in four target areas: the Lake Street corridor and West Broadway corridor in Minneapolis, University Avenue corridor in Saint Paul, and the City of Cass Lake in northern Minnesota.

The new funding supports projects developed by individual communities that focus on rebuilding small or family-owned businesses, creating green space, or developing affordable housing.
