The City is the recipient of funding for a Brownfield Multi-purpose grant under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The City intends to plan, inventory, characterize, assess, conduct cleanup planning, plan and conduct community involvement activities, and remediate potentially contaminated sites within the city. The City seeks a Qualified Environmental Professional to perform a variety of tasks related to the assessment and planning to redevelop potentially contaminated sites. The target area for this grant is Central Kannapolis, which includes two priority sites - the former Pillowtex Wastewater Treatment Plant and the former Wyrick Property/Villa Mobile Home Park. The remediation of these sites will serve as catalysts for revitalization of the entire target area. Further, the City anticipates conducting twelve (12) Phase I and eight (8) Phase II environmental site assessments, remediating two (2) brownfield sites, holding twenty (20) community meetings, developing three (3) site-specific cleanup plans/Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives, developing five (5) overall plans for revitalization, developing two (2) reuse strategies for two (2) priority sites, and submitting twenty (20) quarterly reports. Work conducted under this grant will benefit the residents, business owners, and stakeholders in and near the City. No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
