| | 4. | | Resolution relative to application, acceptance, and funding of a brownfield grant application
to the USEPA for cleanup of a brownfield in the City of Milwaukee.
Minutes note: Mat Reimer of the Environmental Team introduced the resolution which would allow the Authority to apply,accept, and fund an EPA brownfield grant for the property at 29th and Center. The site has a history of manufacturing but did receive a closure from the State prior to the City foreclosing on the property in 2020. The Jewish Community Center (JCC) has been leasing the space as a food pantry since that time and has expressed interest in purchasing the site and growing their operations. The grant would be used for soil management, asbestos and lead abatement, demolition, vapor mitigation system, and capping.
Mark Shapiro, President and CEO of the JCC, provided an overview of their proposal. Pantry started in 1976 and has developed partnerships with Hunger Task Force, Feeding America, Northwestern Mutual Foundation, Froedtert/MCW, Metcalfe Bridges and Amari United. They are also interested in expanding their services beyond the food pantry and have several partners identified.
Commissioner Galvan asked which commitments have been secured to which Mr. Shapiro stated $1.1M has been committed for Phase I. Commissioner Smith asked about the WDNR case closure. Mr. Reimer stated the closure was for conditions in 2005 and this project would modify those conditions requiring additional remediation. Mr. Reimer also confirmed, per Commssioner Jones’ question, that the Authority can only apply and accept one EPA grant for this site.
Commissioner Smith moved for adoption of the resolution and it carried by a vote of 7 ayes - 0 nays. Adopted resolution is No. 11017.
