Beatatric Narrowly Misses Brownfield Grant for Dempsters Project Cleanup, Plans Reapplication
The city's application for the Brownfield grant to assist with the cleanup of the Dempsters project was narrowly rejected, missing the award by only one point (170 out of a possible 175). Awards were given to communities scoring 171. The city plans to reapply for the grant in January, aiming to improve their score by addressing the cleanup of smaller back buildings and demonstrating their commitment to the project. The city is undertaking partial demolition of these back buildings using its own resources, which is expected to improve their 'scorecard' for future applications. The city previously applied and scored lower (120-125), indicating progress in their grant writing efforts.
