The communities of Appleton and Allouez are among 4 in Northeast Wisconsin to receive Brownfield Grants from the DNR.
Appleton will be using their portion of the $336,000 total to clean up contamination at a small auto repair and used car sales shop on South Oneida Street. This location was formerly a gas station back in the 60’s and 70’s.
Meanwhile in Allouez, the village took ownership of a one-acre site on South Webster Street that served as a combination grocery store and gas station in 1958. St. Vincent Hospital acquired the property in 1986 and removed underground fuel storage tanks.
Village leaders are now interested in identifying contamination issues with an eye toward future redevelopment.
Marinette and Winneconne are also receiving support for some projects.
