PRESS RELEASE: Governor Phil Scott Announces Additional $2.83 Million Committed to Brownfield Cleanups Statewide - Springfield’s Edgar May Health and Recreation Center Awarded $1,223,305
Montpelier, Vt. - Governor Phil Scott and the Agency of Commerce and Community Development (ACCD) today announced that an additional $2.83 million of the $10 million appropriated for brownfield site remediation has been committed in 2022 for projects across the state. The largest cleanup award to date, $1,233,305, was to Edgar May Health and Recreation Center in Springfield, Vt. In total, the State is investing $25 million in brownfields this fiscal year … The Edgar May project in Windsor County includes the remediation and reuse of two existing buildings — the foundry and former J&L Plant — which will be connected to house expanded offerings including childcare, group exercise, multipurpose space, lifestyle medicine offices, indoor rock climbing and walking track, and a basketball court. A redevelopment project on this site has been envisioned and worked on since 2006, as ANR’s Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) studied the contamination and sought funding to properly address, clean up, and redevelop it.
