The PCEDC was the recent recipient of a $200,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct planning and community involvement activities related to potential hazardous-waste impacted Brownfield sites in Piscataquis County. A Brownfield site is any property where the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of may be complicated by the presence, or potential presence of, a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.

The goal of this public informational meeting is to educate interested individuals about the Brownfields program, to answer questions from community members, and to solicit sites that could potentially benefit from this program.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact PCEDC Executive Director Thomas Kittredge at tkittredge@pcedc.org or 1-800-539-0332. More information is available at the EPA’s Brownfields site at http://www.epa.gov/brownfields/index.html.
