On or about November 14, 2024, Tooele City intends to prepare and submit a grant application to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to obtain $1,227,570 in Brownfields funding for environmental cleanup of the former Broadway Heritage Apartments property located at 126 North Broadway in Tooele, Utah (site). Past uses of the property have likely resulted in releases of asbestos, lead, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that have impacted portions of the property. Tooele City proposes to develop the property for commercial and residential use in accordance with Tooele City's redevelopment strategy. These funds are to be used for the cleanup of environmental impacts that were likely released during multiple fires that occurred at the site, and other associated costs. Tooele City encourages citizens, business owners, and other interested stakeholders to attend the November 6, 2024, virtual meeting to provide feedback and comments regarding the grant application and plans for cleanup and reuse of the property.
Information related to this project or the public hearing, including copies of the draft grant application and draft cleanup plan, referred to as the Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA), are available for review.
