EPA Grants $4.5 Million for Stevens Point Site Cleanup and Redevelopment
What happened
The EPA awarded Stevens Point a $4.5 million grant to clean up and redevelop a former building site in Stevens Point. The 1.3-acre lot is contaminated by a former dry cleaner. The Stevens Point Redevelopment Authority approved plans to redevelop the area last December. Mayor Mike Wiza stated that remediation is expected to start next year.

Why it matters
The grant addresses soil contamination at the former Shopko building site. This funding is critical for moving forward with local housing project plans. The city finance committee will discuss the site and an amendment to the developers agreement in October.
