Brownfield grant to be utilized to address blight
The Holbrook City Council convened July 14, during which they received a presentation on the Brownfield grant by Stantec Principal of Environmental Services David Laney. Absent and excused from the meeting were Councilman Tim Dixon and Vice Mayor Francie Payne.
Stantec is a consultant to coalition communities that are taking part of the Northeast Arizona Property/Business Revitalization Program, administering the Brownfield grant.
“This is an effort by communities in Navajo and Apache counties to identify, plan for, and provide technical assistance and funding to property owners who want to reuse, redevelop and in some cases expand their property or their business,” explained Laney, adding that there is an emphasis on vacant and underutilized properties in an effort to improve economic development.
