JEDCO awarded federal grant to revitalize dormant business sites on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish

by The 100 Companies

The US Environmental Protection Agency recently awarded JEDCO with a federal grant to boost business attraction, jobs and investment in historically underserved communities in Jefferson Parish.

The $600,000 grant will be used to assess possible Brownfield sites on the West Bank. Environmental assessment is a key step in breathing new life into a number of vacant and underutilized industrial and commercial properties in Jefferson, many of which could be contaminated by hazardous substances, pollutants and/or petroleum.

This grant has the potential to increase interest in long-dormant properties with the ultimate goal of business attraction and community revitalization. Learn more here.
