WEST VIRGINIA NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online WVU-Marshall partnership targets brownfields November 06, 2009 6:40 AM CHARLESTON, W.Va.
West Virginia and Marshall universities are combining efforts to help cities find new uses for abandoned or vacant industrial sites. The Marshall-WVU Foundation for Overcoming Challenges and Utilizing Strengths, or FOCUS, will provide grants of up to $5,000 to cities to redevelop such sites, known as brownfields. The program is a partnership between the Northern West Virginia Brownfields Assistance Center at WVU and the Brownfields Assistance Center at Marshall. Patrick Kirby with WVU's center says the program will give communities a starting point to turn eyesores into assets. Information from: The Charleston Gazette, http://www.wvgazette.com |
