Clinton County Port Authority Seeks Interested Property Owners for State Brownfield or Demolition Grant Funds

The Clinton County Port Authority is seeking property owners interested in participating in the Ohio Brownfield Remediation and the Ohio Building Demolition and Site Revitalization Programs:

• https://development.ohio.gov/community/redevelopment/brownfield-remediation-program
• https://development.ohio.gov/community/redevelopment/building-demolition-site-revitalization-program

The Brownfield Remediation Program can provide funding for the cleanup of industrial, commercial, or institutional property brownfield sites. The Demolition and Site Revitalization Program can be used for commercial or residential buildings and includes revitalization of surrounding properties. 

While there is no current application period, the Port Authority and the Clinton County Regional Planning Commission are constantly seeking sites for the utilization of existing funds and in preparation for future funding rounds.

“These Brownfield and Demolition dollars from the State give us a rare chance to put long-stalled properties back to productive use, potentially as new job sites or homes,” said Josh Roth, Economic Development Director. “If you’ve ever wondered ‘will this property ever get cleaned up?’, the answer may be yes. Interested property owners are encouraged to reach out. The Port Authority will help you sort out eligibility, build a competitive application, and move good projects forward for Clinton County.”

Interested property owners are encouraged to indicate their interest by filling out a pre-application form online at https://bit.ly/PropertyOwnerInterest or by contacting Roth directly at (937) 566-1188 or jroth@ccportauthority.com.
