Patton Highlights over $50 Million in Brownfield Remediation Grants Coming to Cuyahoga County

COLUMBUS – State Representative Tom Patton (R-Strongsville) is pleased to announce that Cuyahoga County has over $50 million as part of the Ohio Brownfield Remediation Program. 

The program was created because of the State Operating Budget, which was supported by Representative Jones. This roll out of grant included $192 million for different remediation and cleanup projects throughout the state.

“Ohio’s Brownfield Remediation Program will help communities throughout our state see improvements to out of use structures in our communities creating new opportunities for residents,” said Patton. 

The Kurtz Bros. Inc. has received over $2.4 million for the Warner Road remediation project. Since 1886, this property has served as home to various chemical manufacturers, including the National Chemical Company, Allied Chemical and Dye Corporation, and the General Chemical Company. Operations ceased on the property by 2006, but the site remains contaminated from chemical manufacturing operations. 

Remediation activities include the removal of lead contaminated soils and the backfill of lagoons on the property. After remediation, Kurtz Bros. Inc. will explore multiple options for the redevelopment of the site.
